English	This work is located in Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture, Japan. A large symbolic tree creates a forest like space. The waiting room seems relaxing space for not only kid's patients but also parents and others to spend time in. The waiting room's interior is particularly warm and refreshing, featuring wooden objects and a large window that provides a view of the garden's trees.
Native	この小児科病院は、鳥取県米子市に位置しまるで森の中に佇むかのような安らぎの空間を提供しています。待合室には大きなシンボルツリーをデザインした木のオブジェが立ち訪れる人々に深い安心感と癒しを与えお子様だけでなく保護者の方にも居心地の良い時間を過ごしていただけるようにデザインされている。緊張を抱えた子どもたちにとっても待つ時間が苦にならずむしろ安らぎのひとときとなるような特別な空間が広がっています。待合室からは窓越しに広がる庭の木々がさわやかな景観を演出しています。大きな窓からは自然光が差し込み柔らかく照らす室内はまるで森の中で過ごしているような感覚を与えどこか心がほどけるようなリラックスした雰囲気を感じられます。
