这座建筑有一个简单的伞状结构，由28个纯竹框架单元组成。每个框架形成一个拱形，形成一个直径为22米的大型圆形大厅。该大厅供森村市民参加各种活动，如聚会、宴会、展览和音乐表演。

The building has a simple umbrella-like structure which consists of 28 pure bamboo frame units. The each frame forms an arch shape, creating a large circular hall with a diameter of 22m when it gathers. The hall is used by citizens of Sen Village for various activities such as parties, banquets, exhibitions, and music performances.

大厅的外围由4米宽的露台和一个功能空间组成，其中包括一些私人房间、浴室、一个厨房和一个小办公室。茅草屋顶悬垂在这一地区，直径达30米。室内空间不需要遮掩屋顶的形状，白天不需要人工照明，因为天窗和开阔的外围提供了缓和的日光。

Periphery of the hall consists of 4-meter-wide terrace and a function volume, which contains some private rooms, bathrooms, a kitchen and a small office. The thatched roof overhangs to this area and it achieves 30-meter diameter.Regardless of the shrouding shape of the roof, the interior space needs no artificial lighting for daytime uses as a skylight and open periphery provide defused daylight.

天窗的作用也是从屋顶顶部排出热空气，因为附近池塘的微风从建筑物中流过。这些被动设计方法有助于降低能耗，使建筑远离空调的使用。

The skylight also functions to discharge hot air from the top of the roof as breeze cooled by adjacent pond flows through the building. These passive design methods contribute to reducing energy consumption and keeping the building away from AC use.
