About River Sea Vilao

River Sea estas vilao situanta sur la insulo Awaji en la Prefektujo Hyogo, Japanio. La terenon situas apud la buŝo de rivero, kaj la akso de la plano kuras de nordo al sudo direkte al la akvo. La konstruaĵo dividiĝas en tri partojn: enirkonstruaĵon, gastkonstruaĵon kaj ĉefkonstruaĵon. Du kortoj apartigas la tri partojn, kaj vojeto kunligas ilin. Laŭ la vojeto, la limo inter interno kaj eksterno iĝas mola. La muroj estas kovritaj per randkaheloj faritaj el lokaj tegmentkaheloj de Awaji. La ununura etaĝo limigas la efikon sur la ĉirkaŭaĵon.

Production Technology
We have done a lot of research on the site, clients, villas and resort hotels for this project.
In doing so, we came up with the concept of a fusion of vanacular and modern.
It is the only architecture that can only be found in this place.
Based on that concept, we examined the exterior, interior, space, materials, and so on.
Design Challenge
Building the concept was a first-stage challenge.
The question is whether to design a wonderful architecture below with few requests from clients.
Also, when selecting materials, the concept was to use things in or near this place, so we visited many workshops and made selections.
Research
In this project, many designers participated under our supervision.
Structural design, equipment design, lighting design, tile design, fabric design, furniture design, equipment design, etc.
We shared the concept with them and proceeded with the project.
Inspiration
I have been thinking about timeless and minimalist design, and the relationship between the space inside and outside.
In this project, the design is inspired by them and the situation of the site.
Project Duration
The design and construction period is September 2019-January 2021. The site is Hyogo prefecture (Japan).
Operation Flow
In this architecture, you can enjoy a space experience and relaxation that is unique to that place.
It is the material and space derived from that place.
