Soak your feet in a stream for a cooling break
With a shade like an airplane wing stretching across the blue sky, white rugs and cushions on a wooden deck, and a breeze whispering through, this is an open space where you can relax like you're at a resort.
Daydreaming
Large, high, trailing clouds, painted across the blue summer sky— their shadows cast down around the building make for a thoroughly summery landscape. This is an installation that will evoke childhood memories, stirring feelings of nostalgia.

The summer landscape painted by the shadows of clouds
Beneath fluffy clouds, a beautiful summer vista will spread before your eyes, complete with sparkling water, lush greenery, and summer festival goldfish. Just like how you used to gaze up at the clouds and see pictures in them when you were a child, tour around the building to see how many views you find as you search for the distant summer scenery dotted all around.
