special nursing home
852.35m2
In this project we were asked to do the annex of a special nursing home for the elderly in Kudamatsu, Yamaguchi prefecture. Our aim has been to create a comfortable and welcoming place through the use of natural materials, as the OSB (oriented strand board) for the interior spaces and wood elements for the exteriors.
In the East façade, because of the fire spreading restrictions, aluminum panels had to be mixed with the wooden panels so we arranged them as a gradational changing pattern. The wooden façade changes gradually to an aluminum surface. In the South façade through the use of wooden planks we tried to assimilate the wall and the rain shutters into just one apparent element.
The big amount of restrictions and regulations in a building of this kind were taken as great opportunities for designing this nursing home in a different way and make it a more gentle, natural and welcoming place.

特別養護老人ホーム
852.35m2
山口県下松市にある特別養護老人ホームの増築計画。老人を暖かく向かえ、老人が心やすらぐ「家」のような建築を目指した。内装は木をリサイクルして製作されたOSBを使い、外装にはグラジュアリーに変化する自然素材を用いて、生物の皮膚のようなスキンとした。東面は延焼線によるアルミ材と木の組み合わせにより、木のファサードが、徐々に、アルミ・ファサードへ改変していく。
南面は木片をランダムに貼り付けることで外壁と雨戸を同化させた。法規上の制限や雨戸という制約を負の制約ととらえず、逆にポジティブな契機ととらえることで、老人施設に、ナチュラルでしかも軽やかな新しいデザインを与えた。
