Concept and Design Overview
Peaceful, sprawling, and Zen-inspired! Instead of a single tall tower, this compound features multiple single-story traditional buildings—a main reception hall, a Zen tea house, a martial arts dojo, and a meditation garden—connected by covered walkways.
The compound is set within a dense bamboo forest intermingled with blooming cherry blossom trees and gravel rock gardens (Karesansui). The palette highlights light Birch wood, Bamboo green, cherry blossom pink, and smooth sand.
Step-by-Step Building Guide
- Lay Compound Layout: Mark footprints for 3 separate single-story buildings connected by covered hallways.
- Build Birch Walls: Build light walls using Birch Planks, Stripped Birch Logs, and Paper-like White Stained Glass Panes.
- Build Low Sweeping Roofs: Construct wide-eaved roofs using Spruce Stairs and Trapdoors.
- Design Zen Rock Garden: Create a dry rock garden using Birch Sand, Gravel, Smooth Stone boulders, and Pink Petal clusters.
- Plant Surrounding Forest: Surround the compound with tall Bamboo stalks and scattered Cherry Blossom trees.
