About The Bamboo Forest グランピング宿泊施設

「The Bamboo Forest（バンブーフォレスト）」は、千葉県市原市の動物園に隣接するグランピング宿泊施設です。敷地の延床面積は2000平方メートルで、スチール製テント、コットン製テント、木造建築による6棟の宿泊棟が配置されています。各棟のインテリアは、隣接する動物園にいる動物にちなんで名付けられ、そのイメージから着想を得たデザインとなっています。宿泊客はキリンのそばで朝食をとったり、カピバラやキツネザルに餌を与えたりすることができます。静かな竹林に包まれたこのロケーションは、近隣都市から訪れる人々に、憩いと学びのひとときを提供することを目指しています。

Dimensions & Packaging: GFA: 2000 square meters
Tags: glamping, animal therapy, nature hotels, bamboo grove, outdoors
Production Technology: Steel tent, Cotton tent and Wooden building
Design Challenge: The difference from the usual glamping facility is that it is located next to the zoo and you can experience interacting with animals. The six accommodation buildings have naming interiors inspired by the animals of "Sayuri World" and the sister garden "Ichihara Elephant Country", and are combined with "Zoo" and "Bamboo Forest" to create a normal glamp in terms of both hardware and software. I was conscious of a design that makes you feel more healed, which hides the line from the ping facility.
Research: The project started from the thoughts of Mr. Sakamoto, the director of the national garden of Ichihara Elephant, but I was conscious of making it a project that will lead to the revitalization of zoos nationwide, where the number of customers is decreasing due to the declining birthrate by making this project successful. We aimed to provide a place where we can provide "healing" and "learning,"; which are said to be in high demand in today's stressful society.
Inspiration: Started after receiving a consultation from Ms.Sakamoto the director of Zounokuni at Ichihara. In today's society, where many people are exhausted from work and daily urban life and are seeking opportunities to refresh their minds and bodies, the healing effect of being surrounded by nature and animals is highly evaluated. Located in a location that is easily accessible by car from central Tokyo, this facility will be an urban oasis in a stressed society.
Project Duration: The project started design in 2019 and finished in 2020 at Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture.
Operation Flow: The project started from the thoughts of Mr. Sakamoto, the director of the national garden of Ichihara Elephant, but I was conscious of making it a project that would lead to the revitalization of zoos nationwide, where the number of customers is decreasing due to the declining birthrate by making this project successful. We aimed to provide a place where we can provide "healing" and "learning,"; which are said to be in high demand in today's stressful society.
