Sanko-Philein Nishikujo

Concept

This proposal is for an urban apartment complex near JR Nishikujo Station in Osaka. The building layout features a south-facing staggered design. To enhance the independence of each unit, improve natural light and ventilation, and reduce the sense of pressure on adjacent low-rise buildings, an open corridor with light wells is incorporated. Privacy considerations are also addressed. The common entrance is approached by a safe promenade separated from the road, and the living zone is clearly zoned from the parking lot and stores. To foster a community of flowers and greenery, each unit includes a flower bed on the balcony, and the building’s exterior is carefully designed to make a positive impression from the outside.
