Concrete roof tiles fell into the building as purlins eroded and timber frames rotted away. Due to these structural damages, the roof opened up to the sky, and the floor reverted to earth. These three buildings, once used as a dormitory for factory workers, were abandoned as nearby factories closed. In a shrinking town, on a distressed building, wild plants gradually replaced humans. This decay gradually transformed the site into an interior garden, providing a sanctuary for plants.
The three rectangular-shaped buildings stood parallel to one another.
