"Wind Terrace": Bringing a Refreshing Breeze to the Hospital Room

Reconstruction of the central psychiatric hospital in the Amami Islands. The project aimed to address the diversification of medical conditions, introduce group care to provide more personalized nursing, and reduce maintenance costs through the use of renewable energy. Furthermore, the design achieves a healing architectural environment through deep eaves that soften the intense sunlight, the interplay of light and shadow created by the “Wind Terrace,” and the use of rustic materials that evoke a sense of warmth.
