| DESIGN NAME: Enhako Bldg PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office and Shop INSPIRATION: The surroundings do not allow for the kind of foot traffic at train stations or other crowded sites, but there is certainly an ebb and flow from the community. The building itself has a roadside veranda covered by balconies that are like a pair of elevated, undulating verandas themselves. From below, these form wooden eaves with enticing, organic shapes that draw people nearer to the building.At this boundary where such urban attractions await, we sought to provide a perch-literally, on verandas where people can relax for a moment and a familiar landmark for the community. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The origin of Enhako meaning consists of two elements. The first En means Engawa which has traditional roots as a garden seat for welcoming guests associated with Japanese-style dwellings from medieval times in Japan. The rear Hako means the box or the venue, so to speak, refers to the building itself, which contains the functional tenant space for the facility. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The goal is to create a commercial building for the local development of the community. The site is located on the boundary between the commercial and residential areas across the City Hall South Street, rather than near the station, which is a dominant location for commercial facilities, and aims to create a commercial facility that is accessible to local residents, or a building that is left to local businesses, for the local development of the community and the town. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Tokyo, Japan FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: It faces north, providing a vantage on park greenery, city hall, and other sights across the boulevard. The atmosphere of summer festivals, plant fairs, and other lively local events is tangible from here. Zoned for medical and retail offices, the Enhako Building with its inviting veranda was designed as if it were reaching out to the neighborhood, beckoning one and all to stop by on their way between residential and commercial areas through the week.

At this boundary where such urban attractions await, we sought to provide a perch-literally, on verandas where people can relax for a moment-and a familiar landmark for the community. It was insightful to consider people's movement at this place where people are coming and going both during the week and on weekends. CHALLENGE: The areas which left behind from the developed area near the station, is on the boundary between commercial and residential areas. How can be the locality self-developed for the future? As if to answer this question, there were many apartment buildings being reconstructed in the surrounding area, so it was a challenge to construct a commercial building in this location. The situation in the vicinity of the planned building was such that, although many flow of people could not be expected as in front of a station, we noticed that there was a definite movement of residents in the area. Looking to the future of the locality, we saw the need for local development by local people and the need for internal development that would enable young people to start their own businesses in the area. And as for the effect, after the completion of construction, tenants for the building were decided within five days, and players in the area moved in.
