SETRE in Kobe

舞子の浜辺にも素敵な建物が。芦澤竜一さんによるSETREのチャペルは数々の建築の賞を受賞しているようです。このチャペルは見る角度によって表情が変化するんだけれど、正面(？)の大きな窓ガラスには空の色が反射されていてとても美しい。
私が子どもの頃から毎日見てきた海。橋が完成し、人口の砂浜やアウトレットモールができて海岸沿いはずいぶん変わりました。でもこの海と淡路島を見ると、故郷に帰ってきたな〜と思えるのです。

There is a beautiful building on the Maiko coast with the view of Akashi Kaikyo Bridge – SETRE Hotel + Ocean Chapel. This wedding chapel is designed by architect Ryuichi Ashizawa and has won many architectural awards. It looks different depending on the angle. The front big front window reflecting the sky is really beautiful.
This is my hometown and I grew up with this sea. Since I left Kobe, the coast had changed a lot; the big bridge had completed and artificial beach had built. But whenever I see this sea and Awaji Island, I could feel at home.
