NURSING HOME HITOE-NO-SATO
|
|
| Hitoe-Sato was one of the first facilities to introduce small-scale unit care. The new building was designed to enhance the home's concept "personal care" by giving a choice between bed or futon, variations in interior design, and rooms for family stays. Shared living, dining and kitchen are individual spaces but loosely connected forming a L-shaped common area. A separate residential entrance without a reception counter is provided for visitors. | |

HASEGAWA HOSPITAL
|
|
| Hasegawa Hospital was designed following concepts proposed in Professor Kubota's book "Making Patient-attracting Hospitals". Enhancing visual and informal contact between staff and patient is intended in the design. Spaces are subdivided into functional zones partitioned by glass walls for transparency and corridors are minimized to make the building easy to orient in. Staff and patient circulation routes are intentionally unseparated in the diagnostic and treatment zones. Interior and furniture are carefully planned to avoid an institutional atmosphere. | |
