「オホーツク眼科」は、オホーツク海の流氷から着想を得た建築です。建物の四隅を大胆に切り欠くことで、訪れる人を自然に内部へと導くエントランスをつくりました。逆台形のファサードが周囲の街並みに新たなリズムを生み出し、通りに面して印象に残る独自の存在感をもたらしています。 Okhotsk Eye Clinic takes its form from the drifting ice of the Sea of Okhotsk. By boldly cutting away the four corners of the building, the design creates entrances that naturally guide visitors into the space. The inverted trapezoidal geometry of the façade introduces a new rhythm into the surrounding streetscape, giving the building a distinctive and memorable presence along the street.
