RINZAI ZEN TEMPLE AND RETREAT

STUDIO 1032 collaborated with the Chicago non- profit to envision a pastoral setting for a Zen Temple and retreat outside of Madison, WI. Choosing to work in the regional vernacular, STUDIO 1032 created visions of the following:

1. Sanmon (gate)
2. Shoro (bell cote)
3. Shikaryo (office, library, visitor's reception)
4. Hojo (classrooms, lecture/ceremony hall, guest rooms, abbot's quarters)
5. Covered walkway connecting all three buildings
6. Sodo (meditation hall/monk's residence + kitchen, dining, bath and sanitary facilities)
7. Vegetable gardens
8. Ornamental gardens, including nature trails, water feature, teahouse, outdoor lecture area.
