～Hospital that blends into the rural landscape～
The corporate name "Loco Medical" is derived from the Hawaiian word "loco," meaning "indigenous" or "of the region," and reflects the hospital's desire to be a hospital that works together with the community. The concept of "Loco Design" is appropriate for this location, and as a hospital that will become a new landscape of the region, Hospital that h design to blend into the rural landscape and become one with the rural landscape. The exterior design emphasizes horizontal lines that harmonize with the flat expanse of the Saga Plain, and terraces facing the day rooms on the second and third floors are arranged in steps, creating a building design that evokes the terraced rice fields that are one of the region's original landscapes. In November, you can see the Saga Balloon Festival, a local tradition, from this terrace.
