Located in Kofu City, this facility offers three distinct services: consultation for disadvantaged families and children within the community, medical counseling, and staff training. These three functions are performed separately in three buildings: the Center Building consists of consultation rooms and administrative offices and serves as an operational hub overseeing the entire facility; the Clinic Building is where medical counseling is provided, and the Training Building is dedicated to professional training for all staff members of the organization managing the center. The construction was carried out in two phases. In Phase 1, the Center Building and the Clinic Building were completed in 2021. In Phase 2, the Training Building was completed in 2022.

A house for a four-person family who enjoys gardening and the outdoors. The site is located on the outskirts of Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, where is located new houses and apartment buildings nearby. Since the site was surrounded by houses and apartments, creating a somewhat enclosed atmosphere, a polycarbonate room was installed to provide privacy and allow the residents to enjoy their hobbies without hesitation. The room made of polycarbonate is named the "Inner Garden". As for the zoning, I divided the whole building into three volumes. One is the “Inner Garden”. Those volumes are placed to slide for making some corners to be family spaces.

The residence is located along a gently-sloped hillside with no other house or obstacle around. It took some thinking for me to visualize a house standing in the middle of grass land. The house needed to provide a sense of protection since it would be the client's final home. It also needed to be supple to blend with the surrounding natural environment. Standing in this rich land, I wanted the house to have a sturdy and fragile presence at the same time.
