About Nagomi 福利厚生施設
「なごみ」は、日本の宮城県郊外に立地する工場の従業員のために設計された福利厚生施設です。「なごみ」という名称は、日本語で心が和むことを意味しています。延床面積1691平方メートルの2階建ての建物には、カフェテリア、フィットネスセンター、ギャラリー、リラクゼーションエリア、そして屋内外のイベントスペースが設けられています。湾曲した形状と勾配屋根が、冬の季節風や雪からアプローチを守ります。トラス構造の翼状の架構によってカフェテリアには広々とした無柱空間が生まれ、木製天井のラインをランダムなパターンで配することで、軽やかで温かみのある内部空間を創出しています。

- 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.
