Three paths connecting the facility and the community

To make the approach to our patients as easy and safe as possible, we have created a main route that connects the north and south sides of the campus. In addition, we are planning to create a pedestrian-only street that connects the east and west sides, which will serve as the axis for the growth of our other facilities in the future. We are also creating a public walking path in the area as a green corridor, aiming to create a “hospital park” that utilizes the waterfront and greenery, and to make the facility a place that is loved by the local community.

Exterior design that takes into account the surrounding environment

The lower-level sections are divided to allow for the natural light to flow through, creating a more pleasant urban landscape with walkways and greenery.
The upper floors are adorned with delicate pleated blinds that soften the harsh glare of the sun, reducing the oppressive feeling of the large surfaces.
The research institute features vertical louvers to block the harsh sunlight, softening the gaze towards the surrounding area and creating a soft atmosphere through its random layout and colors.

An interior design that is easy to understand and comforting for the elderly

The circular expanses of existing trees such as sakura and camphor trees create a wayfinding design that naturally leads to the outpatient reception area, with the circular shapes radiating from the entrance area, the salon, and the entrance atrium, and continuing into the curved surfaces of the hospital mall.
