Wooden Axis Large Roof

The site is located along an arterial road connecting the city center and the city center, with an urban planning road to the south that is scheduled to be widened, and future development is expected. In planning a new regional medical center, we were conscious of creating a space that is distinctly different from commercialistic road service architecture, with the warmth of wood and a gentle welcome for patients The three buildings are connected by a wooden Sunoko design code.

Villa A

The villa overlooks a great view of the Pacific Ocean, not far from the town of Hayama, the birthplace of Japan's yachting culture. The villa's design is a sculptural form that is appropriate for this spectacular natural setting, with a vaulted roof and a series of arches that symbolize the image of the white, rippling sea. The curved arches of the CLT (cross-laminated timber) roof give a sense of spaciousness to the interior. The result is a villa that perfectly suits a laid-back lifestyle and provides a deep connection to the blue waters at its doorstep.

Serpentine House

The architectural gesture of a long L shaped flowing form along the two main edges of the site seeks to create a threshold between the surrounding scenery and the resulting negative, a courtyard of similar scale to the building footprint. This fluid form narrows and widens to create tension with the enclosed courtyard but is rigid along the perimeter of the site, forming a well-defined edge. The building form stretches through a series of large pergolas to cover parts of the courtyard and to create a rather staged sequence of closed, open and semi open spaces.

Pet Resource Center

As the first building of its kind, the Pet Resource Center is a revolution in the animal care industry. With kennels and cages intentionally omitted, Its function is similar in many ways to an animal shelter, but its fundamental philosophy is the polar opposite. Long term goal; after 150 years of shelters that are modeled on short-term stays, Best Friends is changing that paradigm. Animals visibly decay in health and behavior when kept in cages and kennels. Best Friends have developed a better and smarter way with a goal of No-Kill by 2025.

The Three Roof

The traditional Okinawan house uses long eaves to stave off the subtropical heat. But deep eaves block natural light and darken the house. By dividing the roof into three parts, it ensured daylight from the north side and made it easier for air to pass through. The split roof secures the ceiling height suitable for each place and brings about change in the space. It is possible to protect a comfortable space with good ventilation while suppressing the strong sunlight of Okinawa. In addition, the space under the eaves that has been secured more than before can be used flexibly.

Daiichi

Daiichi Hospital is moving to the new replacement building of its older blocks. The new design explores the idea of breaking up the monolithic blocks of modern hospitals without losing the functionality aspect crucial to a healthcare facility. The hospital is located along the national road No. 2. The north facade is designed to look like a thin sheet with playful random width window openings. A series of surface duplication slides toward the east creating an open book effect as an angle treatment and signaling the building's main entrance.
