Hanazono-so -- eco-apartment with vegitable garden in the city--


  • 2012.07.22



Hanazono-so, the apartment is located at Adachi-ku, Tokyo.
When the plan of an eco-apartment was begun, we went to see them at the very beginning.

We didn't have an appointment, we were trying to make it with Mr.Hirata, the owner of Hanazono-so,
but he didn't have a time in that day.
So we expected to watch the building only.
Fortunately,The father of Mr. Hirata found us, then talked with us really kindly.

If it is called Hanazono-so, it will be the forerunner existence of an eco-apartment with a private vegetable garden.
That is why we are also referring to it very much.
The father of Mr. Hirata, he talked about the importance of using woods of local supply and local consumption, how to make the good community by using a vegetable garden, ecology and so on.....  we studied so many things from him.

Situation of the apartment in Japan now, top priority is to increase number of households, and to reach lower construction costs. Most of landlords believe that makes more profit .
As a result, the situation of an apartment is they supply less rooms for family in  a town or a city.
If family needs a wider place to live, they have to move to countryside.

steel rods, concretes, asphalt, air-conditioner exterior units.
It is full of the element which causes a heat island to a town.

Is such a town cozy to live on?


The apartment which kayagreen X Eco-ya baobab proposes the collective housing which use less energy but mostly controls a heat island and it can live with a family or sharing two person in the town.
It carries out  joy of growing vegetables at your own garden in the town too.


If such an apartment is made in large numbers around a station, don't you think that it is great?
The apartment project was started by such thought.
