This garage is planned within a thoroughbred horse farm in the town of Shinhidaka, Hokkaido. As the number of staff increased and pasture management became more thorough, a garage became necessary to store tractors and attachments used for spreading compost and mowing. To balance structural span and cost, the building is made of steel. The section is kept simple, bringing in light from high north-facing windows and shedding snow to the south.

A deep eave projects from the façade to create a sheltered work area, and horizontal ribbon windows are set along the southern wall to maintain a sense of openness toward the forest beyond—even when viewed through the building. The vulnerable lower portion of the exterior walls is separated by color and material for ease of replacement, which also helps adjust the otherwise unavoidable vertical proportions dictated by required dimensions.

The eaves are covered with translucent polycarbonate, softly glowing at dusk and serving as a substitute for street lighting. As with the main stables and paddock houses, the structure and framework are left exposed, allowing the building to quietly merge into the landscape. The rhythm and density of the steel members play a role in marking out domains for living creatures and tools within the vast environment. Their painted finish is a conscious choice to emphasize this spatial awareness.
