日本建筑师隈研吾已经在自己所在的神奈川县建起了一座疗养院与日托中心。该项目的名称为“hayama no mori”。建筑师完全发挥了木材的功能，他用带有不同弧度的木条覆盖了整个建筑物，形成了一个连续动态的立面装饰，从建筑物的正面延伸出来。在这一整齐平滑的装饰之后，是一座L形布局的建筑物。建筑物通透明亮，宽敞开放。这一座双层的建筑物与一座网格状的直立的图书馆相连。图书馆通过一系列环环相扣的木条与上方的结构相连。
Japanese Architect Kengo Kuma has completed a nursing home and day-care center in his own prefecture of Kanagawa. entitled ‘hayama no mori’, the project sees the acclaimed designer fully utilize the pure and versatile qualities of wood, cladding the structure in strips of angled timber resulting in a continuous and dynamic horizontal pattern that stretches along the entirety of building’s façade. Behind the rhythmically composed elevations, a series of brightly lit and open volumes extend throughout the L-shaped floor plan. The two-storey building is articulated around a latticed library, which rises upwards connecting the design through a series of interlocking strips.
