A Hospital That Supports Local Communities
With the goal of providing healthcare that closely supports the daily lives of local residents, we designed a multi-purpose complex that arranges diverse functions in a layout reminiscent of a town. We actively incorporated the pedestrian routes connecting the train station and residential areas into the hospital grounds, creating a layout where a travel agency, a fitness gym, a midwifery clinic, three childcare facilities, an organic restaurant, and an organic bakery with a wood-fired oven are all integrated into the space. The Multigenerational Community Center features a cooking class where people of all ages—from children to the elderly—can interact while preparing meals. The large awning in front of the entrance is equipped with electrical outlets and water outlets and is used for events such as morning markets.
