HACHIKO HOUSE

Hachiko House is a multifunctional ecosystem of help for animals and people, created in response to the consequences of the war. The program brings together a public hub with a cat café and a pet hotel (A1), a residential cluster for IDPs and volunteers (A2), a medical and rehabilitation center and hospice (B), the dog and cat clusters of the shelter (V1, V2), a resource node with an energy center (G) and a 300 m² underground shelter built to DBN V.2.2-5:2023. The buildings use energy-efficient frame-panel technology on a timber frame with wall thermal resistance R > 6.0. Autonomy: a 150–200 kW solar power plant, 400 kWh storage, heat pumps, a well and rainwater harvesting. The Fear Free® concept — no metal bars, with sound insulation and separated flows. Total usable area is 2,460–3,160 m².
