The site is surrounded by rice field where wind blows through well.

This is one of the areas with much quantity of wind-generated electricity in Japan, and this project is based on the concept of “wind”.

Planning is layout corridor of the ring shape as an image that wind around and each room volume as blade of the windmill.

Consequently, even while maintaining the independence, there is a sense of unity through the corridor and courtyard.
