About Nagomi Velferðaraðstaða

Nagomi er velferðaraðstaða hönnuð fyrir starfsmenn verksmiðju í úthverfum Miyagi-héraðs í Japan. Nafnið Nagomi merkir að róa hugann á japönsku. Tveggja hæða byggingin þekur 1691 fermetra og hýsir mötuneyti, líkamsræktarstöð, sýningarsal, slökunarsvæði og viðburðarrými bæði innan- og utandyra. Bogadregið form og hallandi þak skýla aðkomunni fyrir vetrarvindi og snjó. Grindarvængir veita mötuneytinu víðáttumikið opið rými, þar sem línur viðarloftsins eru raðaðar í tilviljanakennt mynstur til að skapa létta og hlýlega innréttingu.

Production Technology
The design of the building is based on the concept of a circular building with an eaves along the approach from the surrounding factory buildings. The trussed structure of both wings makes the cafeteria a large space. The ceiling of the cafeteria was designed to contrast with the planar design of the factory building, and the lines of the wood material were set in a random pattern to create a light and warm space enveloped by the wood material.
Design Challenge
In order to realize diverse functions and long flow lines economically, we came up with the idea of a series of simple single-span sections. The roof shape is designed to prevent seasonal winds and snow from the northwest side in winter, the structural plan is designed to realize an open space, and the air conditioning plan provides a comfortable environment even in a large space.
Research
In order to determine the shape of the building, we analyzed the seasonal wind direction, snow accumulation, sunshine, etc., and compared several patterns of building orientation, green areas, and pathways to determine the most reasonable layout and shape.
Inspiration
The word Nagomi means to ease the mind in Japanese.The shape of the building was boldly modified to accommodate a variety of functions, including a cafeteria, interior and exterior event spaces, a gallery, and relaxation areas that are easily accessible even in winter.The design of this building is based on the concept of the factory's rechargeable battery cells, and is in harmony with the surrounding landscape and nature.
Project Duration
The project started in 2019 and finished in 2021 on the suburbs of Miyagi prefecture,JAPAN
Operation Flow
The goal was to create a facility that is easy to use and useful for everyone, with a traffic line that is easily accessible even in rough weather, a cafeteria that provides a place for employees to relax and interact, a fitness center to improve health, and a plaza that can accommodate various events.
