Hayama Compound

Rental housing complex located in Isshiki, Hayama in Kanagawa prefecture. This project first stage was completed in December 2010. It is conceived under the premise of preserving the original condition of the plot  while using a language and spatiality that would fit in the context of Hayama.

Some of the relevant issues taken into consideration are; the project relationship with the surrounding housing and the Shinto temple, the preservation of the existing trees, recycling of existing materials on site and the creation of a common space that would entice contact among the residents and the neighbours.

Winner of design prize (housing category) in the 4th Wooden Architectural Space Design Competition (2011) organized by Nikkei Architecture and Japan Envirochemicals.

Winner of the Excellence in Environmental Design award at the 5th Housing Environmental Design Award (2012) organized by Tokyo Gas.
