kengo kuma's community center contains an undulating playroom

In the japanese city of aomori, architect kengo kuma has completed a wooden community center that contains an undulating children’s playroom.

designed to appear integrated within the neighboring townscape, the project features a jagged roofline that breaks up the building’s relatively large scale. external façades are clad with wainscot paneling with interstitial spaces revealing the activity inside. internally, the children’s playroom is joined by a cooking studio and a tatami room – all organized around a central foyer that connects the scheme.
