Concept
As a base for village development, the building aims to revitalize the village through disaster prevention activities and exchanges, and to make it a government building that is friendly and familiar to all, wood from the village forest was used abundantly inside and out to create a warm and welcoming space. The use of wood is intended for a space that enjoys a scenic environment and has a sense of openness with good visibility. As a solution, CLT panels, which are equivalent to steel braces that bear seismic forces, are used as interior finishes. Because the building is located in a village surrounded by mountains, a sloping roof was adopted instead of a flat roof, with the intention of making the building a "home for everyone" for the villagers.
