The building is a complex of dialysis clinic, rehabilitation center, and senior care housing. In order to integrate the four-story building into the rural landscape and reduce its oppressive effect on the surroundings, we designed an eaves enhancing the horizontal line at the second-floor level and divided the volume of the upper floor by inserting an outdoor terrace and applying some setbacks. Rooms of the housing have bright washrooms by the windows facing outdoors. Large windows were also made on the wall facing the indoor common space, creating a plaza-like space surrounded by houses where people can feel the presence of other residents.
