Komohara Nursery School

The nursery school is planned to be built on a hill in a peaceful rural landscape.
Inspired by the lyrics of singer Mayumi Gowa's song 'Habatake Oozora e (Fly to the sky)', the design was based on the hope that the children would spread their wings from here. The building is a generous building with a large roof that looks like wings spreading out, and a terrace like a space under the eaves in the countryside extends over the school garden, forming an intermediate area. At the top is a 'carillon tower' as a symbol of the surroundings, which was imagined to be a landmark for people returning from urban areas.
