A proposal for a place of gathering, where a large timber roof envelops the entire site—functioning simultaneously as architecture, play equipment, and a pergola.

The horseshoe-shaped plan emerges from multiple considerations: the functionality and accessibility of the primary program—a public restroom—as well as the existing trees within and around the site, the circulation of park users, and the surrounding environment.

Responding to the undulating terrain, the roof form creates a variety of activities both above and below, giving rise to a new landmark within the park.

建築であり、遊具であり、パーゴラでもあるような、大きな木の屋根が敷地全体を包み込む憩いの空間の提案。

馬蹄形の平面形状は、主用途であるトイレの機能性や利便性、敷地内外の既存の樹木、公園利用者の動線や周辺環境からくる。

起伏のある地形に呼応したような形状の屋根の上下に様々なアクティビティがうまれる、公園の新しいランドマークの計画。
