*Yogibo RECREATION FACILITY AWAJI, a project that regenerated accommodation facilities on Awaji Island into corporate resorts*
This project combines two issues: the increase in vacant houses, the creation of new ways of working, and the weakening of communication by planning a satellite office on a remote island.
Due to the recent declining birthrate and aging population, the use of countryside and islands is decreasing, and the number of vacant houses where no one lives is increasing. On the other hand, one of the challenges facing companies is the creation of new ways of working and the dilution of communication.
In an open area away from the city center, we are solving problems through design, such as increasing the amount of time employees spend interacting with local residents and reviving abandoned, vacant houses.
