A special nursing home for the elderly, a short stay facility, and a day service facility (including dementia support) are built on a site surrounded by mountains. The aim was to create a place where each user can live as if they were living in their own home. Each private room consists of an open-plan "adanoma" and a house-shaped "okunoma" (about 12m2 in total) that emphasizes privacy.
