Nursery school
993 m2 (506.82 m2 extension 2018)
We attempted to bring children closer to the ground by building a nursery that is close to the ground. The building is made from wood, the exterior walls are covered with wood and plants, the roof is flat to reduce the height of the ceiling, and the interior floor is inclined to match the slope of the surrounding ground. All of these features were adopted in order to assimilate the structure into the ground.
We created a condition in which small wood particles are floating on top of the ground. Artificial interior divisions such as corridors and rooms are eliminated, and the interior space continues seamlessly with the floors slightly inclined. We created many niche-like caves within this continuous space. Caves also consist of a tool that allows people to reconnect with the earth. The children are encouraged to find a place of their own in these small caves.

保育園
993 m2 (2018年度506.82 m2 増築)
地面に近い保育園を作ることで、子供と大地とを近づけようと試みた。建物は木造とし、外壁を木と植物とで覆い、平屋として、天井の高さも低くし、室内の床も、周囲の地面に沿った勾配をつけ、建築と大地を可能な限り同化させた。大地の上に小さな木の粒子が漂うような状態を作った。室内は、廊下と部屋という人工的な分節を排し、床がわずかに傾斜しながら、シームレスに連続する。そのひと続きの空間の中に小さなニッチ状の洞窟をたくさん作った。洞窟もまた、人間と大地とをつなぎ直すためのツールである。子供達は、その小さな洞窟の中に、自分達の居場所を見つけだした。
