Tomoko Taguchi (Tomoko Taguchi Architects)

This is a wooden nursery school located in PASSIVETOWN phase 4. We considered the shape of the roof in a snowy area and architectural design corresponding to landscape. This place is rich in greenery and water, so we devised boundaries to ensure children’s safety with clear visibility. The structure uses over 80% locally harvested cedar lumber. Environmental simulations confirmed ventilation performance and child-level comfort. We achieved ZEB certification due to our passive design and rooftop solar panels.
