SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
The project has a Japanese style which s integrated into the surrounding environment and includes a gymnasium, various activity rooms, a swimming pool, and a bathhouse with a sauna. The glass curtain wall under the continuous ribbon roof provides a good view from the inside and an active atmosphere from the outside.
The site is located in the eastern hills away from the center of Mito City, the same Kanto region as Tokyo. As a result of searching for the spread foundation located near the bedrock, a strap-like shape emerged.
We built a slanting roof over the facility, giving it a Japanese-style look and feel. The eaves were set at a fixed height and the interior ceiling was made to feel continuous through the soffit to create a Japanese visual connection between the interior and the exterior space through the edges of the eaves. The roof runs from a straight line through a cone-shaped part and stretches out in various directions. Then, the bent triangular roof surface connects to the straight roof with different depths and slopes.
This center not only serves the local community as a healing resting place but its wealth of features and convenience also has expanded its customer base and revitalized the entire community.
Considering the needs of people with limited mobility and families with elderly and children, a portion of the building extends into the parking lot as a porch for shelter from the wind and rain, with a parking area underneath and a one-way system throughout the lot to ensure safe driving.
The building is also barrier-free so that the elderly and children can have a relaxing and safe time here. By concentrating the main use space on the first floor and placing the frequently used fitness, swimming, bathing, and changing rooms in the center, the distance to each area has been shortened, thus greatly improving the visitor's experience.
The bright and open interior space is connected to the exterior lawn through the glass walls. Continuous winding corridors and floor-to-ceiling corner windows allow users to immerse themselves in unobstructed panoramic views. After a sweaty workout, you can not only take a shower but also stretch your body and relieve fatigue in the open-air baths and saunas.
This building ensures a high level of safety and can use as a shelter for residents in the event of a disaster. The solar panels on the roof will provide temporary energy for residents who come to the building in an emergency.
Even in an earthquake, the hybrid structure will minimize deformation to maintain the safety of the main structure. The planned lifetime of the structure is set at 100 years.
