Location: Miki-city, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Designer: Shuhei Endo Architect Institute

The Graviculture M is one of the representative works of Japanese Architect Shuhei Endo, who is known for the originality of his buildings and innovative use of materials. The facility is a combination of a ticket booth and toilet pavilion for a tennis court. It is in an oval ring made of bricks, which stands separately from the steel roof and columns. There are partitions as well as connections in the building, with both straight lines and curves, which look very modern.
