About River Sea ヴィラ
リバーシーは、日本の兵庫県・淡路島に建つヴィラである。敷地は河口近くに位置し、平面計画の軸線は北から南へ、水辺に向かって伸びている。建物はエントランス棟、ゲスト棟、母屋の三つに分節されている。二つの中庭が三つの棟を隔て、一本の路地がそれらをつなぐ。この路地に沿って、内と外の境界は柔らかなものとなる。壁面は地元・淡路の瓦を用いたボーダータイルで覆われている。平屋とすることで、周囲の環境への影響を最小限に抑えている。

- 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).
