SIZE

This is a project designed for a health promotion-oriented senior residence located in the suburban area within a 15km radius of central Tokyo.
Japan, facing a super-aging society, is projected to peak around 2040 with the elderly population aged 65 and above surpassing 35%, while the working-age population is expected to rapidly decrease to 53%. Strengthening health presevation and promotion to extend healthy life expectancy is required as a premise for achieving a comprehensive social security system.
This plan aims to serve as the nucleus for promoting health in the community as part of an integrated development, including parks, sports facilities, family-oriented housing, and student housing, with the concept of "Tokyo Wellness Town."
The building overview includes an RC structure with some parts being wood and steel, comprising a planned four-story building with 186 units (20-60 square meters). It features a cross-shaped layout surrounding a courtyard, with common dining and large bathing facilities on the first floor, and a separate wooden fitness café building located along the roadside.
The concept of Wellness is broken down into four dimensions: environmental, physical, mental, and social, with each dimension being pursued in the plan.
-Environmental: Incorporating existing trees to create a relationship with the park and maintaining the design continuity with existing historical architecture.
-Physical: Establishing exercise programs in the separate fitness facility and installing jogging tracks around the perimeter of the site.
-Mental: Enjoying the seasons in the courtyard and extensive use of wood makes people feel closer to nature.
-Social: Promoting multi-generational interaction by opening up the wooden pavillion to the surrounding community.
By integrating these four dimensions of wellness, the project aims to become a senior residence where living alone promotes health and a symbol of community health.
