建造了5栋特殊老年护理和短期住宿的分隔大楼，2座日托大楼和1栋行政大楼。为了使员工在建筑之间的移动更加简单，设计人员将行政建筑安置在工地的中心。此外，就餐区位于北侧公路旁，携带食材进入就餐区非常方便。

In order to make staffs’ moving simply between buildings, the designer locates the administration building in the center of the site. Besides, the dinning area is located beside the north side road where carrying the food ingredients into the dinning area is very convenient.

专门为老年人提供护理和短期住宿的建筑占据了现场最大的面积。三个“合作单位”被合并成一个“单位”，其中10个人可以生活。每个“共单位”由一个小客厅和三到四个房间围绕着它。此外，考虑到夜间护理的需要，每两个“单位”由服务台和厨房及浴室空间连接。此外，每个私人房间分为两个区域，卧室9平方米，多用途房6平方米。根据对周围居民生活习惯的调查，卧室被命名为“后房”，多功能房间被命名为“空间的房间”。

The buildings for special elderly nursing and short staying occupy the biggest area of the site. Three “co-units” are combined to make one “unit” in which 10 people can live. Each “co-unit” is composed of a small living room and three or four rooms which surround it. In addition, considering the need of night care, each two “units” are connected by service desk and kitchen and bathroom space. Besides, each private room is divided into 2 areas, bedroom of 9 m² and multipurpose room of 6 m². According to the investigation of the living habits of the surrounding residents, the bedroom is named “back room”, and the multipurpose room is named “room between spaces”.

设计师通过对周边居民的生活习惯进行细致的调查，找出了区分空间与传统卧室空间的方法。从而提高了后台的个人隐私，创造了开放的活动空间，保持了老年人生活的多样性和与外界环境的交流。此外，该项目的特点是，如果房间之间的隔板是开放的，小单元可以形成一个包含多张床的护理环境。因此，工作人员可以看到每个房间内的一切。

The method of separating room between spaces from the traditional bedroom space is figured out by the designer through the careful investigation of the life habits of the surrounding residents. Thus the individual privacy of the back room is improved and the open activity space is created, which maintain the diversity of the elderly people’s life and their communication with external environment. In addition, the characteristic of this project is that if the partition board between the rooms is open, the small unit can form a nursing environment which contains many beds. Therefore the staffs can see everything inside each room.

专为老年人提供护理和短期住宿的建筑，由私人后房和空间开放的房间组成，使老年人和周围的居民感受到了家庭团聚的气氛。空间之间的空间也可用作供老年人休息的画廊空间、娱乐游客和家庭团聚的空间等。它也可以作为日本传统建筑的入口。全面的空间设计和周到的护理服务是客户的一种新尝试。

The buildings for special elderly nursing and short staying which are consisted of private back rooms and open rooms between spaces make the elderly people and the surrounding residents feel the family reunion atmosphere. The room between spaces can also be used as gallery space for the elderly people to have a rest, a space for entertaining the visitors and family reunion and so on. It can also function as the entrance in Japanese traditional architecture. The comprehensive space design and the considerate nursing service is a new attempt of the clients.

相信在不久的将来，这个项目将像普通住宅区一样，融入周围的环境，成为一个美丽的地方风景。

It is believed that in a near future, this project will be like the common residential area, blending into the surrounding environment and becoming a beautiful local scenery.
