A six-story medical complex in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, with a medical insurance center on the first four floors and a library on the fifth and sixth floors, where a relaxed reading environment is required. Boxes with a feeder-deel structure around the perimeter are stacked on top of each other while maintaining the required area. In the center of the facility is a vaulted space called the "Daruma Void" that runs through the six floors. It spatially connects the different functions of the health center and the library.
