During the weekend of the 10th-11th of May 2014 the closing event of the Hayama Art Fest 2014 was held on the grounds of the Moriyama shrine in Hayama, Kanagawa prefecture. Like previous years, the event had a good attendance, due in part to the excellent weather during the weekend.

This year the grounds of the festival were extended towards the interior of the Hayama Compound plot, allowing people to walk from the Moriyama shrine grounds through the Hayama compound public space and towards the beach. Although the compound public space is intended to be used by the residents, it also can be connected at will with the pedestrian path that goes to the shrine, thus serving as a shortcut for people that want to go to the beach front from the shrine.
Pedestrian path and stair towards street level
Pedestrians used the stone stair and path to go down to the street level, crossing through the compound garden, just as intended in the original project concept. This temporary integration between a semi public green space and the street level infused the project with a surge of activity that served as a test for the development of the compound in the future.
