Inspired by the serene SHIRAITO WATERFALL, located near Mount Fuji in Japan, the design of Waterfall Suites weaves in elements of stream, thread and calmness of water into the façade. Waterfall represents the formless things within the World while being the epitome of simplicity and purity. Incorporated in the design, Shiraito no Taki is the landscape theme of the project and has been interpreted at several places.
Origami View – Represents the water stream of the Shiraito Waterfall
Silk Yarn – Represents the water thread of the Shiraito Waterfall
Cleanness – Represents the calm water of the Shiraito Waterfall with the Clear Handrail design element representing its true calmness and serenity
