The reverse of the functions on the first and second floor in a house provides richer life. In general, in Japan, there are living, dining, bath, etc on the first floor, and bed rooms on the second floor. Living on fist floor is generally dark due to the typical Japanese houses’ characters of a narrow land and fences surrounding it. This house has just bed rooms on the first floor to get a garden, a car park, a open space, etc, and all of other rooms on the second floor to be filled with light and breezes. Furthermore, this rearrangement provides privacy because of the different spending places between this owner and the neighbors.

The Metro station as if you are in nature
We want to preserve and utilize the animal tiles that have been popular for a long time since they were drawn in 1969, and that we want to create a fun and bright station with a sense of excitement as if it were in nature, even though it is an underground space. We express the natural atmosphere with animals drawn on existing tiles, moving animals projected by advanced technology, lights like sunbeams, living plants and so on.

"The pool where we all watch over the children"
The aim is to create a pool where not only the staff would monitor the children, but everyone in this pool, including parents, can also watch over the children. By concentrating the vertical load on the two mast columns, we created a integrated, column-free space with the pool and the gallery that is easy to watch over children. In addition, we designed a flat from the entrance to the poolside, so that everyone's line of sight reaches the poolside. To prevent children from being obscured by reflections in the water, direct sunlight is avoided and stable natural light is brought in from all sides of the north face. In this pool filled with soft indirect light, children can swim healthily. Externally, two mast pillars jutting out like the sails of a sailboat play a role in making this pool a familiar landmark for everyone in town. We hope that this pool will become a facility that is close to Kaizuka's citizens and will be familiar to them for a long time.

A shared house where diverse lifestyles resonate
It was built in Saiin, Kyoto 50 years ago as a house with a boarding house, and started operating as a shared house 10 years ago. This time, we underwent a major renovation and took a new step. In this project, we removed the partitions as much as possible and removed the extra parts around the main unit in order to create a space where the rooms, inside and outside, were connected gradually like a Japanese traditional house. This is an open-ended place like a plaza full of diverse activities. In order to be able to accept the diverse activities of the inhabitants and to live while maintaining a reasonable sense of distance, we have created unique features in each space while being an integrated space. For this reason, we devised the heights of sight, the farsighted angles , the plan of a geese, the set of furniture, and the ease of round.

This building is a wood structural framed gymnasium in concert with the surrounding environment. The Kobe International Junior High School and Senior High School Harmonie Hall was based on an idea of a clear and open axial plan utilizing concrete and wood to respond to the campus’ history while creating a new relationship with the natural landscape. Harmonie Hall is an ancillary facility that includes a gymnasium that can be used as both a basketball court and an auditorium. Functionally, gyms tend to be enclosed spaces removed from their surrounding environment, but this time, by utilizing a wood structural frame, the building is in concert with the vibrant local environment as much as possible.
