Incubation on Campus Honjo Waseda

This research facility located in the Waseda University Honjo Campus focused on the "Environment" has been designed to follow the slopes of the valleys of Satoyama with setbacks and recessed glazing, creating a harmony with the topography of the site and co-habitation with the Ohtaka (Northern Goshawk) indigenous to the area.
The setback terraces are covered by "Eaves" grown over by ivies that modulate sunlight into dappling pools. Exterior air is carried in over the radiant panel A/C system and exhausted through the solar chimney system is an attempt to combine natural ventilation and artificial A/C in a hybrid system.
