A multiple unit housing project that built at a highland where Kobe is desired. The area overlooks the sea and town as Japan's first marine meteorological observatory was built, and the north side is a rich natural area with scenery of Mt. Rokko.
In order to enjoy the view of the town and sea in Kobe by taking advantage of the large height difference in the premises, the residential building was arranged mainly in the south direction. A "Cherry Blossom Terrace" was set up where residents could enjoy a full view of the city and the sea in Kobe, and descendants of standard trees used for forecasting cherry blossom blossoms at the time of the Ocean Meteorological Observatory were transplanted and preserved, and the trees were planted together with new cherry trees. In addition, stone materials used for the buildings of the ocean meteorological observatory were reused as garden stones and bird buses in which birds were gathered to colore the planting of the entrance.
The succession of history was sublimated as a design by damaging the "memory" of the ocean meteorological observatory in an open place to the people in the region. The lumber from forest thinning in Mt. Rokko was also used for the walls of the kids room and ceiling louvers, and the wood cut-offs from the thinning were also reused as playground equipment for the children. Although the amount of wood is very small, we believe that the design will contribute to the improvement of urban landscape and environment by continuing this effort. We hope that the children who will lead the next generation will be able to experience the warmth of nature and help preserve the beautiful nature of Mt. Rokko.
