    Ribbon Chapel

    Located in Hiroshima, Japan, the Ribbon Chapel designed by architect Hiroshi Nakamura takes the form of two separate wooden staircases that spiral around the exterior and meet at a 15.4-meter observation platform, providing views of the coastal landscape. The intertwining stairways reference the unity of marriage as their pathways converge before splitting again, and also serve to structurally support the building. Inside the glazed chapel, a central aisle lined with seating leads to the altar where weddings are completed on the rooftop after the couple travels up separate staircases but descends together.

    The body of the marriage ceremony is conducted inside the glazed
    chapel,
    where
    a etc
    wooden aisle bracketed by two banks of seating leads to an altar.
    Nuptials are completed on the rooftop, where the two staircases widen and connect
    to unite the bride and groom who travel up separate flights. Once the vows
    are completed the couple can then pick one route to descend together.
    Aside from the symbolic nature of the structure, the architect said the double stairs
    were chosen to create a stable structure.
    "By entwining two spiral stairways, we realised a free-standing building of
    unprecedented composition and architecturally embodied the act of marriage in a
    pure form," he said.
    The two staircases support each other horizontally, while steel posts with a
    diameter of 10-centimetres bear the vertical load to form a stable structure. These
    posts, designed by engineering firm Arup, were deliberately slanted at construction

    stage and righted into a vertical position by gravity once the supports were
    removed.

    located in the grounds of a luxury resort in japan, this wedding chapel


    designed by hiroshi nakamura has been configured as a double spiral,
    formed of two separate stairways. in order to ensure sea views, the structure
    has been elevated above the trees, with an observation platform at a height of 15.4
    meters offering sweeping coastal vistas.
    in a reference to the union of marriage, the buildings dual stairways start
    at different locations before spiraling together to form one singular
    structure. the intertwining pathways also form the chapels roofs, eaves and walls,
    enclosing the central nave that contains seating for up to 80 guests.
    in conjunction with a large oculus skylight, glass windows between the stairways
    allow the interior space to forge a close relationship with the surrounding
    environment, while minimizing dependance on artificial lighting. the buildings
    exterior is finished with painted timber panels clad with a titanium zinc
    alloy a material resistant to damage from the sea breeze.
