Okinawa Prefecture Sports Association Hall

2015 Sports & Health

This facility aims to feature a unique and symbolic building design suitable as a hub for promoting sports in Okinawa. The design separates the office functions from the meeting and training functions, providing a circulation plan that is easy to navigate. The buildings closest to the park are designed to be low-rise to blend seamlessly into the green landscape. The office building, which houses the sports association and many related organizations, incorporates spaces that promote interaction among the various groups. It offers a quiet office space with good views, while the training building provides an open space that is easily accessible for the general public. This area is designed to accommodate a variety of sports and foster active interaction. The park’s facilities are planned as open areas for the public, allowing park visitors to move freely through the green pergola. By actively incorporating the surrounding natural environment, the views from the large conference room create a sense of unity with the Athletes’ Plaza.
