Makuhari Bay Town developed in a landfill near Tokyo. It is an elementary school built in a so-called block type housing complex where the walls of the building are attached to the road. The layout of the elementary school also arranges a school building along the road, and the fence is an open form without a gate. It contains an alley-like space called a pass that residents can use as a shortcut for moving to the station.
The school building is an open school type, and it has been a topic since the school opened as a "wallless school" outside and inside. By arranging the classrooms on the north and south sides of the courtyard, it is possible to secure sufficient daylighting and ventilation for each classroom and realize a school building with high grounding. Outside is also a place to develop learning activities. This arrangement to secure a certain distance between the classrooms is also advantageous to the open school sound problem.
Ten years after the school was opened, the lower grade building was added.
