Environmentally-Friendly Design

By planting 120 cherry and other trees on the rooftop of the welfare facility – about 2,000 square meters consisting of spaces for extracurricular activities, restaurants, and shops –the green rooftop was opened to students to create a place for communication that integrates the building with the rest of the campus.

By adopting maintenance-free, energy-saving glass curtain walls and an easy-maintenance, perimeterless system, the durability of the building is improved.

Using the existing slope, an exhibition hall was designed and built into the ground to conjure up the image of an archeological site. The power of natural materials was used to create a landscape that would blend in with the beachside views.

This technology makes the most of ice thermal storage and all cooling is covered with nighttime power alone. This increases the building’s environmental conservation capabilities and economic efficiency.

The production of construction by-products was significantly reduced by reinforcing and renovating the existing building’s frame and using it as the structure for the new building.

This school was constructed on the site of a demolished thermal power plant. The landscape was restored to be in harmony with the green mountain range and the rustic scenery of the surrounding village. In addition, recycled concrete waste was used effectively as crushed stone for the drainage layer.
