Nikotama Terrace Cooperative House / Okuno Architectural Planning

The Nikotama Terrace is a cooperative house located on the hillside of the Kokubunji cliff line that runs from Futakotamagawa to Kinuta. The site faces the slope called "Mamushizawa", which used to be a valley, and is protected by the cliff line ordinance. It is a green place, like a mountain, surrounded by native species of the Musashino Plateau. There is also a large retaining wall on the site to eliminate the height difference. The main concern was how to confront this retaining wall and the building while making the best use of the height difference in the surrounding area? The design answer came as a row house (10 dwelling units) with a green valley.

"Roseroc" is created to function as an employee cafeteria as well as an employee activity hall with catering functions. The major sectors of this company are the manufacturing of cables and catheters for medial purposes and the “roseroc” is built in the premises of those factories. "roseroc" needed to function mainly for 3 major purposes - as an employee cafeteria where they can spend their lunch break hours comfortably and feeling refreshed after dedicating a lot of their time manufacturing cables and catheters in the clean room, then, as a multiple purpose space where employees can use the area for meetings, activities for recreation purposes and so on, and lastly, as a symbolic icon of the company who is eager to penetrate into the international market.
