Warobe Village
From a palm-sized to a design process shared with citizens
A place where anyone can come, even if they are alone, at any time
Based on the Citizens’ Charter “1. Anyone, at any time, regardless of their status 2. A partnership between citizens and the administration 3. A center that nurtures the local community,” a nucleus of the local community was born.
Handcrafted size for a close connection
The site is located in a rural area, with a mix of green natural scenery and residential and commercial areas. The complex facility program, including five uses within a limited space, is truly a "handmade-sized" project.
A space filled with bustling activity and smiles
The "Onigiri Street," where welfare shops and all the facilities inspired by the famous peanuts are displayed, is bustling with activity and smiles, showing new urban development and the way a welfare community should be.
