这是一个建在山口的智障人士集体宿舍。 四个人住在这里,同时接受看护人员的帮助。 这个建筑被要求为他们的更好的生活而努力,建筑的每一个元素都不是为了代表事物,而是为了做一些事情。

This is a group home for people with intellectual disabilities built on a hill pass. Four people live here while receiving assistance from caretakers. This architecture is asked to work for a better life of them, and every single element of architecture is designed not to represent things, but to do something.

该场地位于一个没有阳光的北坡。 建筑的横截面寻求阳光和通风。 同时,由于要满足作为福利设施的建筑标准,该结构被嵌入斜坡中,以保持从道路上的平坦通道。 面向北面的大窗户略高于眼睛的高度,清除了在城市中穿梭的人们的视线,在窗户对面的两个世界中创造了一个不断开放的氛围。 到了晚上,泄漏的灯光像灯笼一样照亮了原先黑暗的街道。

The site is located on an unsunny northern slope. The cross-section of the building seeks sunlight and ventilation. Also, due to satisfy the building standard as a welfare facility, the structure is embedded in the slope to keep flat access from the road. The large window slightly higher than eye-level facing the north side clears the line of sight of the people who go around the city, creating a constantly open-minded atmosphere in both worlds across the window. At night, the leaking lights illuminate the previously dark streets like lanterns.

该结构由混凝土和木材的混合体组成。 挡土墙上升为外墙,而木梁则是地板的框架。 通过最大限度地减少混凝土楼板,建筑模板的支撑和热桥都被减少。 在二楼,一个像长椅一样的台阶被设置在私人房间里,地板的饰面被改变,这样居民就容易有感情。 晚上从缝隙中漏出的光线柔和地连接了上下层,一楼的看护人员可以看到二楼住户的生活节奏,这对集体宿舍的运行至关重要。楼梯由钢棒悬挂,作为防止跌倒的栅栏。

The structure consists of a hybrid of concrete and wood. The retaining wall goes up to be the exterior wall, and timber beams frame floors. By minimizing concrete floor slabs, construction formwork support and thermal bridge are reduced. On the second floor, a step like a bench is set in the private room, and the floor finish is changed so that the residents are easy to have affection. The light leaking from the gap at night softly connects the upper to lower floor, and the caretaker on the first floor can see the life rhythm of the residents on the second floor, which is essential for the operation of group homes. The stairs are suspended by steel rods which serve as fences for fall prevention.

通过对许多类似设施的调查和对护理人员的采访,这些想法被提炼为这种建筑的理想形式。 虽然社会工作者认真地要求设计的力量,但小型社会福利设施已经被建筑师们遗忘。

These ideas were refined as the ideal form of this architecture through surveys of many similar facilities and interviews with caretakers. Small social welfare facilities have been forgotten by architects although social workers seriously demand the power of design.
