Project Introduction

Hall and exhibition facilities / Cultural facilities (libraries, multi-purpose facilities)

Sirius

Yamato City Culture and Creativity Hub Sirius

This is a project that involved developing public facilities through redevelopment. In Yamato City, existing halls and libraries are aging, and as a symbol of the future urban development, we designed the “Yamato Uchi” concept with the aim of creating a comfortable space. The project is planned to be connected by a promenade from the station front, and the hill is set back in the design to reduce the sense of overcrowding. The exterior features a garden with a walking path on the roof, creating a visual appearance that imitates a hill.

The biggest feature of this project is that all the buildings are libraries. From the entrance hall to the bookshelves, you can bring books with you anywhere in the building. Additionally, the library is themed around “health” in line with the “Healthy City” initiative promoted by Yamato City. From a design perspective, by creating corners such as a health corner and a health terrace where a certain event is held every day, we have sought to create a comfortable environment that makes it easy to visit every day with a timeless and calming design.

The main hall, which seats approximately 1,000 people, had very strict acoustic requirements due to the planned location being a land with aircraft noise and subway vibration. This problem is solved by placing the hall structure inside the building structure and insulating it with shock-absorbing rubber, which is then stacked in layers.

Combined with a sense of comfort and the management’s efforts, the library is now the largest in Japan, with 9 million people visiting it in the three years since its opening.
