General concept
Hachirogata Cycle
The lagoon called Hachirogata, adjacent to Katagami City, creates various natural “cycles” by circulating water and agricultural products and connecting with the surrounding environment. The theme of the work is the regional climate and cycles, including ripples on the calm surface of the water, footpaths that stretch to the horizon, and the changing seasons.
Major composition facility
A Plaza, Opens to The Local Community
The exterior design of circles and gentle curves is inspired by the footpaths of Hachirogata surrounded by a lagoon. The courtyard serves as a "plaza" open to the local community, collaborating with the cafeteria and in-office day care center, and providing a space for employees to relax and interact with local residents through markets and seasonal events.
