ECO FIRST PARKJapanese

Eco First Park serves as a new kind of "school"
where everyone can participate in thinking about how we live and the environment.

Our "Environmental Future Plan" was announced in 1999 ahead of the rest of the industry.
Since that time, Sekisui House has aimed to create a housing environment that is friendly to both humans and the planet and can be passed down from generation to generation.

These efforts were highly evaluated by the Ministry of the Environment, and in 2008 we were certified as a "Eco-First Company" —the first in the housing industry.

Sekisui House has accumulated a record of environmental activity, Eco First Park is a facility that symbolizes this record and crystalizes these activities.

Eco First Park brings together the developed wisdom of those who have gone before us in a facility full of the latest in eco-friendly design and technology.

Here you can experience, learn about and study various ways of living, and will be sure to encounter the styles of living that will meet the demands of the future.

"Gohon no Ki" landscaping concept to enrich lives
Trees rooted in the region bestow blessings on people's lives and at the same time provide birds, insects and other living things with food and a place to live. Needless to say, they contribute to the ecosystems of the area, but they also bring about healthy living with a sense of the seasons.

Shores of life that nurture living things

The pond and flow of water nurture many living things, providing a habitat for fish, a bathing place for birds, a place for fireflies to lay eggs and other such benefits. Rainwater flows into the pond, and naturally purifies.
