Monorail station of Amanohashidate view land

Koichi Hankai Architect & Associates as Architects

It’s a large - scale renovation work of the monorail station. Because it’s a tourist facility and can’t be closed, we did construction work leaving only the existing platform. Planned with one structure to adapt to the existing law in the extension part. The main structure is steel frames, the secondary structure is wood, creating a rustic atmosphere even in large spaces. In an open space with a roof, it’s pos sible to cope with sudden climate change on the Japan Sea side such as wind and rain and snow.
