Taishi Town Minami General Community Center

コンセプト

Taishi Town South General Center was planned as "a place where local residents of all ages, from children to the elderly, can gather at any time to engage in a variety of activities, and as a facility that fosters a rich local community where people can cooperate with each other. The facility is interconnected with a plaza with good visibility, terraces, bicycle parking spaces, and various other places within the facility. This creates a rich environment that fosters community, similar to the "tano-ji" style layout seen in Japanese traditional houses, where the earthen floor, tea room, and tatami room are connected to each other. An outdoor staircase allows direct access from the second-floor rooftop terrace to the plaza during the community's Bon Odori festival, making it possible to utilize a variety of locations. Traditional Japanese architectural elements such as the smoked silver gable roof, fair-faced concrete finish with cedar plank molds on the walls, and plaster-like plaster finish were incorporated to create a landscape-friendly facility that is appropriate for the "harmonious Japanese town" theme that Taishi-cho is aiming for.
