S Clinic + Residence by Office of Kenji Tagashira
The S Clinic was not the easiest project in the world to construct as it’s located in the core of Osaka. As it’s facing the national road, there’s a great number of traffic existing in this area. The streets are lined with big and small stores, banks and medical facilities, and innumerable signboards are placed out miscellaneously. A disorderly row of buildings along the street is formed with them.
Visiondivision decided to design one specific shoebox that can be multiplied and stacked into nearly any form, allowing different store-layouts, but at the same time being easily identifiable as a Mangrolia Shoe store.
This house is made "only" by slits, there are no windows. The wall of 105 m lengths with 60 slits surrounding the site realizes the architectural space in this narrow and long site. No other architecture has ever been realized by such a method.
The essence of this architecture lies in an inner court. The site is located in Sumizome, Fushimi, Kyoto. It’s a small town with a long and distinguished history, situated south of the Tofukuji temple. Facing to south, the building is built on a gentle slope.
