I am a first-year master's student in the Department of Architecture at Nihon University. I believe architecture shapes our emotions and can create warm, inclusive spaces where everyone feels a sense of belonging. By listening deeply to people and communities, I design spaces that harmonize with nature or offer intimate comfort, helping people live happier lives.
I have a strong interest in people and cultures, which inspires my approach to creating meaningful and context-sensitive spaces.

1 Children cafeteria Connections Expand the Circle: A Second Home
Concept
Designed so that children do not eat alone, the children's cafeteria serves as a gathering place for children and local residents.
The circular design of all buildings and exterior structures creates a soft and gentle space that promotes connections and expansion between people. The open dome-shaped space, different from home, creates an extraordinary space that provides an experience that children will want to return to.
The gentle light emanating from the dome-shaped building warmly welcomes children who visit at night.
Design Process
By using beach sand, which is rare in urban areas, we have created a space that is different from everyday life.
The height of the glass walls has been adjusted to block the view from outside and ensure privacy without obstructing relaxation.
Fountain
The fountain and deck are located close to each other.
The circular light created by the deck is like a spotlight.
Let's run around barefoot on the sand! Together with the children, like children!!

Apartment Building 2 WAVE
Concept
In apartment buildings, some people move out and new people move in.
People from different communities visit and spend time together in the same space at the same time.
I perceived this mixing of diverse wavelengths as “waves” and incorporated them into the architecture.
I wanted to create a comfortable space where diverse people could mix and interact with each other.
Site analysis survey
The terraces, which are intertwined by wave patterns, encourage interaction between the upper and lower floors, which are normally separated.
Adults can relax, children can run around, and everyone can take a break on the hill.
Features skylights, achieving a bright and open design.

Liberation from time performance
This proposal aims to create a “community center that blends into the landscape” by integrating the nature left in the gaps of the building, incorporating the surrounding landscape, and blending into the landscape. The goal is to create a place where people can visit without a specific purpose, spend time with abandoned nature, and find a sense of belonging with both people and nature.
Site
To blend into the landscape, we laid a single green slab across the entire site and offset it in all directions to create architecture that connects to the site while evoking its vast landscape.

Continuity
To maximize the continuity of the riverbank while incorporating elements of a community center, we laid long slabs across the entire site, emphasizing continuity of experience and materials.
Between the straight slab paths and curved paths, spacious plazas with a human-scale warmth have been created.
Another path between two paths. A tea room and meeting room can be seen across the small river.
The slab that was once the roof now serves as a bench where people can enjoy lively conversations.
This river is connected to the distant sea, and the ebb and flow of the tide can be seen from the walkway above the river.

An Analysis of Spatial Composition in Balinese Temples Through the Odalan Ritual
A Case Study of Mertasari Temple in Pengosekan Village
Objective
In Bali, religious rituals are deeply interwoven with daily life, and architectural spaces serve as essential stages. This study aims to clarify the spatial usage and significance of the Odalan ceremony at Mertasari Temple.
I stayed with a traditional family for 32 days, participated in the preparations for the ritual, and recorded how the temple space was used during the ritual. Research Method
I conducted research while experiencing the culture of the Balinese people by creating offerings and participating in actual rituals.

Thank You
Since visiting Bali, I have been inspired by its culture, craftsmanship, and the harmony between people and nature. I hope to bring these values into my work.
