The common space enclosing a courtyard has the shape of an irregular loop, which means infrastructure of ‘a town’, and flexible activities were developed such as dining, discourse, functional training. The service station was planed at the corner of shortcut for wandering faced the ellipse-like courtyard, I intended the nonchalant care, ‘its hold is released and it does not look aside’. Medical treatment rooms consist of single rooms, two-bedrooms, and four- bedrooms. ‘ Tuba yard’ was planed next to multi-bedrooms for getting the natural lighting and ventilation, besides I designed the ‘shoji’ and roll screen in order to make the atmosphere like a single room.

The exterior wall was finished by exposed concrete and plaster based on earth color. The ring-like slab above the courtyard is illuminated by artificial lighting, it looks like a lighthouse loved in this area.
