Hospital Park
The landscape including a hospital garden on the first floor and the roof garden on the fourth floor is designed around a theme of the sea, because the children's hospital is located by the sea. Furniture pieces and pergolas are designed in abstract forms resembling sea mollusks and deep-sea fish with the aim of provoking children's imagination and curiosity. Another aim of our design is to create an environment where community residents can casually enjoy the landscape like a park by seamlessly connecting the landscape to the surroundings. We expect that a vibrant atmosphere created by community residents using the landscape on a daily basis will gradually spread inside the hospital.
