Sakuragaoka Clinic, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture

The site faces Route 3. The area is an industrial area that represents Kyushu, and I thought that an elegant building would not match the landscape, so I set the design theme as "factory." I'm trying to create a light and efficient image.

The design looks like a steel structure with wall panels attached, and glass is installed in the areas that are not covered by the walls.

Since the eaves of the entrance eaves are raised in order to connect the paramedic ambulance, it is intentionally separated from the block ceiling of the windbreak room. For the evacuation exit on the 2nd floor, I tried to use a door without a balcony or anything that you would see in a printing factory.

In order to be able to operate the interior with a small number of staff, we have created an open and fluid image by eliminating as many things as possible to separate the space other than the necessary walls.

The other side of the round wall is the waiting corner. Since many of our patients are children, you can wait for your turn to see a doctor anywhere in the hospital, including the children's corner. I try to avoid as much regularity as possible. The ceiling lights are also sparsely placed.

As a clinic, the scale of the building is large, and we wanted it to continue to exist for a long time, so we envisioned a building that could be changed to a restaurant or any other type of industry even if it were no longer used as a clinic.
