This wooden nursery that was built in a grassy plain in Hokuryu town in Hokkaido which is known as the home of the largest sunflower field in Japan was based on the theme of “Sunflower Geometry”.
The frame was built with larch wood which is locally produced, and larch panel boards were combined with larch plywood to create warm gentle interior space that envelops the children in which a portion of the structure is exposed.
The centripetal geometry of sunflowers was used as a hint to create a hall where all of the children gather around the center of the building, and lighting fixtures covered with yellow cloth that was dyed using sunflowers were suspended around the center as symbols of a hanging garden.
All of these features resulted in the birth of energetic warm space that perfectly suits a town known for its sunflowers.

保育園
811.42 m2
日本一広いひまわり畑で知られる北海道北竜町の草原に建つ「ひまわりの幾何学」をテーマにした木造の保育園。
町産材のカラマツ材でフレームをつくり、構造を一部露出しながらその上にカラマツの羽目板とカラマツ合板を貼り付けて、子供たちを包み込む暖かく優しい空間が生まれた。
ひまわりの求心的幾何学にヒントを得て、中心に全ての園児が集まるホールを設け、その中心にひまわりの花で染めた黄色い布の照明器具を吊り下げ園の象徴とした。
ひまわりの街にふさわしいエネルギッシュであたたかい空間が生まれた。
