Toilet Design Competition - Negishi Forest Park
Yokohama, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan
Yokohama, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan
根岸森林公園は、誕生以降さまざまに姿を変え、現在もおおらかな地形と豊かな森によって人々に親しまれています。私たちは、公園内の地形こそが今日に歴史を伝える重要な要素だと捉えました。さらに来訪者のアクティビティに着目し、公園とトイレを一体的に考えました。本提案では、以下大きく3 つの視点を大切にしました。
Negishi Forest Park has transformed itself in many ways since its creation and is still enjoyed by people today for its generous topography and rich forests. We considered the topography of the park to be an important element in conveying the history of the park to the present day. Furthermore, focusing on visitor activities, we considered the park and toilets as an integral part of the park. In our proposal, we focused on the following three main aspects.
1. ランドスケープと寄り添う佇まい -
地形に沿って個室を配置し、風景と調和する屋根を架けることで、必要以上にに地形を改変せずに動線を整理し、自然エネルギーを活用します。
2. 使いたくなるような手触り
清潔に維持しやすい細部のつくりや部材を選択し、経年変化を肯定するようなマテリアルを積極的に取り入れます。
3. 人々が憩うおおらかな空間
公園利用者のニーズに応える個室を設えるとともに、待合や日陰で休むといった休憩機能を強化し、公園と相補的な使いやすい空間とします。
1. an appearance that cohabits with the landscape
By arranging the private rooms along the topography and roofing them in harmony with the landscape, the flow lines are organised without altering the topography more than necessary, and natural energy is utilised.

2. a feel that makes you want to use it
We select details and materials that are easy to keep clean and maintain, and actively incorporate materials that affirm change over time.
3. generous spaces for people to relax
Private rooms will be provided to meet the needs of park users, and rest functions, such as waiting and resting in the shade, will be enhanced to create a complementary and user-friendly space for the park.
