A "townside corner space" that citizens can easily visit
Creating facilities for citizen participation that invigorate the city
Aiming to become a hub for revitalizing the city center, citizens, government officials, and designers worked together to plan the entire process, from design to operation, through workshops.
A building that blends in with the history of Okazaki
The historical context is incorporated into the building. The "Oborodori" street, which draws on the memory of the outer moat of Oizaki Castle, and the "Osoridori" axis that connects the castle to the resting place of Ieyasu Tokugawa are two spaces that have been used to express the history of Oizaki City.
A place of freedom for citizens like a park
In harmony with the surrounding landscape and with consideration for universal design, we designed the building to be low-rise and with a large flat plan. Furthermore, to allow citizens to visit freely, we have designed the building with no rear walls, creating an open connection to the city.
