- 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.

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
