Sanjo Hokusei Community Center is a minimalist space located in Kagawa, Japan, designed by Yasunari Tsukada Design. Sanjo-cho is a densely-built old residential area in Takamatsu City. The project was to make a meeting place for local residents to gather. The site within the built-up town is surrounded by a number of alleys. The architects wanted to create a center for the town that would intermingle with the alleys and houses. The community center is separated into two buildings, both of which were downsized in order to harmonize with their surroundings. The buildings were deliberately designed smaller than houses in the neighborhood, which resulted in a modest but symbolic community center in which the local residents would feel personally attached to.
