- A complex of shared spaces and an energy plant to create electric power and hot water for the village, renovated from an abandoned elementary school
- Energy is created from the timber sourced from the local forests, showcasing the whole process to visitors
- Installing a steel framed roof between the existing buildings, the power-plant machine sits in the middle, creating the new entrance for the whole campus
