This kindergarten opened in 1979 and is located on a hill in the Tsukui district of Sagamihara City, a commuter town of Tokyo. It has accepted many children over the years and has become a household name in the local community. As the existing kindergarten building started to have various issues due to aging and having gone through a series of expansions and renovations, it was decided to build a new one as part of the future-oriented strategy. The Tsukui district is the largest in Sagamihara City, with many rivers and lakes surrounded by mountains and low population density. Since many kindergarten children use the shuttle bus, I tried driving those routes, but the area covered was too large to go around in a matter of an hour. There is a bus route set up just to pick up one child waiting in the pickup point, which seems too much but understandable considering the fact that houses are too far apart for children to see each other and that many children wish to have kindergarten shuttle bus to see many friends there.

It is a complex facility of Type B Work Support Facility and Group Home located in Sagamihara city. In the past, there was an industrial technology high school near this site, where many technicians had been graduated, and there are many "model factories of SME (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises)" that has developed manufacturing. As a manufacture facility built in this area where manufacture flourished, the design concept is "Visible, Showable" so as to create an environment where people with any disability can work having pride. People who are not engaged in welfare facility generally don’t know how the facilities for the disabled are, because they are not visible, unknown, which leads to wrong prejudice, the less communication with its local community. It is a problem to solve.

Being designed within the framework of two-story wooden apartment building in architectural regulations, “TRAYS” materializes a quality comfort of privacy and space in living by introducing the concept of “TRAY”, a residential unit complete with dwelling unit, balcony, and porch as a detached house. “TRAY”s are stacked on top and aligned to form an apartment building.

In past 60 years, as information technology progressively changed, in Japan, our housing industry has rapidly adjusted to it. This “forced adjustment” to our society has caused a transformation of our traditional lifestyle, and housing space has been often talked by “nLDK” ; n (number of private rooms) L (living) D (dining) K (kitchen). The concept of nLDK is to describe how much value your house has. The spatial flexibility and relationship (private and public) among n, L, D, and K are separated and lost, and as a result, “function” started to walk alone.
