About Wooden Axis Large Roof Clinica e Farmacia

Il sito è situato lungo una strada arteriosa che collega il centro città, con una strada a sud destinata all'ampliamento secondo il piano urbanistico, e si prevede uno sviluppo futuro. Nella progettazione di un nuovo centro medico regionale, si è cercato di creare uno spazio distintamente diverso dall'architettura commerciale stradale, con il calore del legno e un'accoglienza gentile per i pazienti. I tre edifici sono collegati da un linguaggio progettuale Sunoko in legno.

Production Technology
The exterior skin and openings are set on the outside of the shaft assembly, and openings are out-set in braces and other structural parts to create continuous windows and stepped windows, resulting in a transparent wood structure.
The sunoko walls (facade rattan) used for the exterior skin allow for better air flow, which dries faster and more durably than typical wooden exterior walls.
Design Challenge
TSC Architects aimed to create a building with a bright and warm feeling of wood, so that the wooden framework would appear as the interior. Therefore, we verified the structure so that it would be beautifully expressed, and let the placement of the rafters be determined. The rafter-exposed ceiling guides the eye to the view outside. We also considered installing large-opening exterior sashes on the outside of the structure to create a wooden structure with a sense of transparency.
Research
A project to build an orthopedic surgery, an internal medicine clinic, and a pharmacy on a single site. TSC Architects was conscious of creating a space that is distinctly different from commercialistic road service architecture, with the warmth of wood and a gentle welcome to patients. The three buildings, with their combined design codes, work together to create a townscape that serves as a medical hub for the community.
Inspiration
The three clients wanted to build an internal medicine, orthopedics, and pharmacy on a single site, and they wanted to align their design codes with a bright atmosphere. Therefore, TSC Architects used "sunoko" on the exterior to unify the design code, with the interior representing a wooden shaft to give the warmth of the wood.
Project Duration
Project duration did from July 2021 to January 2023.
Location is 64 Asahigaoka, Minamisakae, Owariasahi City, Aichi Prefecture.
Operation Flow
The design codes of the three buildings are aligned with the sunoko walls to bring a sense of unity. The wooden framework creates a warm and welcoming treatment space as an interior design. Large openings to the full ceiling create a pleasant space illuminated by gentle natural light.
