As the first roadside station in Morioka, the project was conceived not merely as a transportation node, but as a place of everyday life that generates both leisure and work for local residents. The design seeks to reinterpret the memory of the Shibutami forest—where Ishikawa Takuboku spent his youth—into a narrative landscape that establishes the identity of the site. A parking layout that follows the natural topography, together with a cluster of buildings arranged around an activity plaza while preserving existing trees, forms a village-like composition. Furthermore, the visual axis toward Mt. Iwate and Mt. Himekami serves as the spatial framework, creating a continuous circulation that connects indoor and outdoor activities with the surrounding town of Shibutami and the Takuboku Memorial Museum.
