波特兰日本花园的新文化村是一套适度的、符合人类尺度的建筑，围绕着一个庭院广场排列，广场的第四面是现有的、1960年代的未被开发的花园。该项目是一个沿着从城市到山顶的旅程定位的村庄，是一种现代monzenmachi的形式，其中的朝圣之旅向大自然的精神致敬。
Portland Japanese Garden’s new Cultural Village is a modest, human-scaled set of buildings arranged around a courtyard plaza, whose fourth side is the existing, untouched gardens from the 1960s. The project is a village positioned along a journey from the city to the top of the hill, a form of modern monzenmachi wherein the pilgrimage pays homage to the spirit of nature.
这里有四座建筑，每座建筑都有自己的方式，结合西北太平洋针叶树的高大垂直线条，融入地形的戏剧性斜坡：漂浮在平缓的阶梯式池塘上的售票亭，盘旋在峡谷之上的茶馆，以及主村舍和花园房屋。
There are four buildings, each with its own means of merging into the dramatic slopes of the terrain, in combination with the tall vertical lines of the Pacific Northwest conifers: the Ticketing Pavilion floating above gentle stepped ponds, the Tea Cafe hovering above the ravine, and the main Village House and Garden House.
尽管建筑对景观敬而远之，但关键的装置是人字形的屋顶–创造出软金属和茂密植被的深悬，以及一个多孔的边界，以鼓励与著名的波特兰雨以及其脾气暴躁的太阳在一个柔软的、不确定的和灵活的边界中建立直接关系。
与Sadafumi Uchiyama（景观设计）、Hacker Architects、Walker Macy合作。
Although the architecture is deferential to the landscape, the key device is the zigzagging roof—creating deep overhangs of soft metal and lush vegetation, and a porous boundary to encourage a direct relationship with the renowned Portland rain, and its temperamental sun—in a soft, indeterminate, and flexible border.
