Idiosyncrasy is the augmentation of disappointment that resulted from systematic reality and temporal liberation.

Many of Takashimadaira Danchi’s elderly population have committed suicide due to loneliness. This project criticises the cellular nature of modernist architecture, which offers minimal interaction between neighbours and causes isolation in the community. This project proposes a series of functions which aim to prevent disappointment and bring happiness and inclusiveness to the elderly community. Functions within the Lazy River such as rice fields, banquet and dance halls, and Onsen baths are chosen based on benefits towards quality of life and values of daily activities. The entrepreneurial aspect of housing also aims to reintegrate the elderly community with younger generations.
