This wooden building was constructed as the city’s community center for people to gather. We repeated the roofs for the façade so that it could merge into the neighboring townscape of small houses. On the exterior wall, wainscot panels are applied with spaces in between, and it expresses a warm and friendly face to the street of the land to the north. The street in front of the building actually extends into the interior, and is given the name “Michi-no-Hiroba (plaza for the street),” around which a children’s playroom, cooking studio and tatami room are arranged.

十和田市の中心部に、木でできた市民のための交流施設をつくった。小さな屋根が反復するファザードによって、小さな住宅が並ぶ既存の町並みとの融合をはかった。
地元の木材(杉)のハメ板を、スキマをあけて外壁に貼ることによって、暖かく軽やかな印象を、北国のストリートに与えることができた。
前面のストリートを内部にも延長させた「みちの広場」は長い冬の間の交流の場となり、この「みちの広場」に面して、子供たちのためのプレイルームや料理教室、和室などが配置されている。
