Enhako 大楼丨日本埼玉丨Organic Design Inc.

Enhako大楼位于距离东京郊区最近火车站步行约15分钟的地方，坐落在居民区和商业/政府办公混合区的边界上。项目开始之前，业主找到了Organic Design Inc.事务所进行咨询，虽然他们十分看好这块场地，但是场地距离主干道与火车站还是具有一定的距离，且他们不确定如果建造一座用于租赁的商业建筑是否能够吸引稳定的人流。

▼项目概览，Overall view

平日里，很多老人、家庭主妇和儿童都会因为各种各样的原因来到这里，商业区里坐落着很多诊所、整骨诊所，以及老年人经常光顾的福利设施；家庭主妇们则会经常去往超市或去某个熟悉的小咖啡馆聚会；此外，社区中还设有学前备考中心。在周末，很多家庭都会光顾市政厅停车场上举行的早市进行购物，然后在大型公园消磨消磨时间，中午在咖啡厅或家庭餐厅中用餐，然后返回住宅区。因此，设计团队将Enhako大楼设想为一处坐落于两个区域之间的栖息之所，人们能够在宽敞的阳台上停留休憩。

On weekdays, elderly people, homemakers, and children cross the border between the two districts mentioned above for various reasons. The commercial district contains a mix of clinics, osteopath offices, and welfare facilities frequented by the elderly; supermarkets and cafés where homemakers gather; and test-prep centers attended by children. On weekends, families shop at the morning market held in the parking lot of the city hall, spend time at the large park, and eat at cafés or family restaurants before returning to the residential neighborhood. We envisioned the building as a familiar perch for people coming and going between the two areas, with verandas where they can stop and rest.

无论是周末还是工作日，大楼周围人潮流动。虽然这里的人群比车站附近的要少，但相对来说人流更加稳定。因此，建筑师特别设计了毗邻街道的阳台，二楼和三楼周围被宽敞的阳台包裹，阳台下方则形成有机的檐下空间。温暖的木屋檐，吸引着人们进入大楼，同时定义了建筑的独特设计语言。

People flow around the building on both weekends and weekdays. While the crowds are smaller than one would find closer to a station, there is reliable community foot traffic. Focusing on this, we created a veranda adjacent to the street and wrapped balconies around the second and third stories. The underside of the balconies form organically shaped, warm wooden eaves that draw people in and define the building’s design.

建筑主立面朝北，面向绿树成荫的街道以及对面的公园和市政厅，同时也将夏季节日庆典和植物集市中热闹的场景引入室内景观之中。大楼内主要包含了商店和诊所，引人注目的阳台包裹着建筑的外围，将空间延伸到街道上方。无论是平日里还是周末，大楼为各个年龄段的来客提供了一处闲适的休憩场所。作为一栋商业建筑，Enhako大楼由社区成员运营管理。室内空间可以整体出租，也可以按层出租，或根据需要按单元出租。

The building faces north to take advantage of views across a tree-lined street to the park and city hall, and to invite in the sights and sounds of summer festivals and plant fairs nearby. The multi-use building contains shops and a clinic, and the veranda reaches invitingly into the street so that people of all ages can stop by on their outings around the neighborhood on both weekdays and weekends. Our goal was to design a commercial building that will be sustained in this way by members of the community. The interior can be rented as a whole, by the floor, or by unit depending on needs.
