This building is a dental clinic that connects a mountain landscape with a residential area. The site is long and narrow, with a 3-meter difference in elevation, and was previously lush with vegetation. I felt the life force of nature and wanted to utilize it in the design. The client also liked the bamboo grove and loquat tree on the site. The client also wanted a clinic where patients could relax and look forward to their visits. By adopting a design approach that uses the site's existing features, we believed that people could feel a variety of experiences.

The large wood receive the patients and generates a space where the patients can feel the sense of secure even outside the building, being a symbol of the town.

KONDO MUSEUM, situated near the main gate of Kyoto’s Kiyomizu-dera Temple, by the Chawan-zaka approach to the temple. It is believed that the ancient city of Kyoto is guarded by four mythological creatures in four separate quarters. The area surrounding the temple is called Higashiyama district. This eastern region of Kyoto has long been known as a holy place of pristine water under the reign of Seiryu, the azure dragon and guardian of the city’s east. In this sacred area, a traditional local craft, known as Kiyomizu ceramics has continued to evolve since the Edo period. This museum was originally established in commemoration of Yuzo Kondo, the renowned master of Kiyomizu ceramics. Our project was to refurbish this memorial museum.

The site is 8m width and 25m depth, and such sites are often observed around this area. Since a road frontage of sites is not wide enough, the buildings are built at full wide and stand close each other. Many of them have large openings on the road side and few openings on the back part of the site.
