About Bizen Sue Hótel
Bizen Sue er hótel staðsett í Bizen-borg, Okayama-héraði. Tveggja hæða timburbyggingin er hönnuð til að falla að umhverfislandslaginu. Náttúruleg efni gefa innviðunum hlýlega og róandi tilfinningu. Baðið er gert úr Bizen-leirkeri, hefðbundnu staðbundnu handverki með 1400 ára sögu. Fjölmargir gluggar fylgja halla lóðarinnar og hleypa inn dagsbirtu og náttúrulegri loftræstingu, sem dregur úr þörf fyrir gervilýsingu og loftræstikerfi. Sameiginlegt rými gerir gestum kleift að hittast. Lóðin er 718 fermetrar að stærð.

- Design Challenge
- As the construction site has a difference in elevation we have made use of this characteristic and adopted a design that uses the difference in elevation to create a vaulted structure. This has brought a sense of openness to the space, while also reducing construction costs by minimizing unnecessary construction work. It is a rational design that achieves both functionality and economy while harmonizing with the natural terrain.
- Research
- While traditional craft Bizen pottery has excellent characteristics as a vase or plate there were many issues with using it as a material for baths. However through the skills and ingenuity of skilled craftsmen we have overcome these difficulties and created a special space that combines texture and functionality. This is a bath that fuses tradition and innovation.
- Inspiration
- When designing this hotel the first element I focused on was the bath made using the locally crafted pottery bizenyaki
with a 1400 year history bizen pottery is a traditional craft that exudes a rustic yet profound presence adding depth and character to the space by incorporating this material I aimed to create a unique environment where nature history and local culture come together in harmony. - Project Duration
- To be completed in 2024 in Bizen City Okayama Prefecture
- Operation Flow
- We have prepared a room where guests can interact with each other.
In addition we have made effective use of the natural light and wind by placing many windows to take advantage of the difference in elevation and we have secured comfortable lighting and ventilation. We have realized an ecological space that makes the most of natural power without relying on artificial lighting or air conditioning and we have created a sustainable environment where you can spend time comfortably. - Image Credits
