Shigeru Ban creates wooden Zenbo Seinei retreat on Japanese island

Shigeru Ban creates wooden Zenbo Seinei retreat on Japanese island

An open-air platform for meditation is elevated above the treetops at Zenbo Seinei, a wooden retreat that Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect Shigeru Ban has completed on Awaji Island in Japan.

Nestled amongst trees on the island's north side, the meditation retreat is aimed at tourists seeking space for self-reflection, healthy eating and mindfulness.
