An idea for the competition submitted by Nakasato village in Gunma prefecture, which has the smallest population excluding the Islands of Tokyo area. The village with a population of 997 wished to rebuild the former village office constructed in 1922. We proposed to create places the villagers would like such as a museum, music hall, multipurpose plaza, etc. along with the construction of the village office. As a result, I won the implementation proposal for the first time in my life and realized the plan together with the Furuya lab.
