About Yamadera 호텔 스위트룸

야마데라(Yamadera)는 대만 자오시에 위치한 호텔 스위트룸으로, 일본 야마가타의 산사(山寺)에서 이름을 따왔다. 30제곱미터 규모의 이 객실은 켜켜이 중첩된 아치 요소를 통해 현관, 휴식 공간, 목욕 공간의 세 영역으로 구분된다. 단일 색조의 재료와 낮은 채도의 색감이 차분하고 아늑하게 감싸인 분위기를 자아낸다. 수면 공간의 벽면 마감재에는 규조토를 배합하여 온천 욕조 주변의 습도를 조절하도록 했으며, 목욕 공간에는 내수성 미네랄 페인트를 적용했다. 밀도 높은 평면 구성은 제한된 바닥 면적에 대한 해법을 제시한다.

Unique Properties: Yamadera Suite of Hotel Yamagata Kaku is aiming to transport guest remotely by creating a nature-like enclosing environment and monotone materials.

Layers of Arch elements neatly divided suite into three sections:
Foyer/Resting/Bathing, based on the nature of the suite program.

The compact spatial organization also solves the size limitation of the space.
Low chromatic tone creates a sense of solitude and yet archly surrounding provides embraced intimacy, fulfill the need of five senses.
Dimensions & Packaging: Suite Area: 30 sqm
Tags: Hotel, Yamadera, Taiwan
Production Technology: Wall coating materials are selected to create unique sense of nature. In sleeping area, diatomaceous earth are mixed into wall coating, adjust the humidity of room with hot spring tub. In Bathing area, water-proof mineral paints are employed to give out caving earthy tone with water proofing function
Design Challenge: With the size limitation of the room (30 sqm.), how to create an isolate hot spring area and yet guest can also feel like being in wide open nature. A room can purify the mind physically and psychologically.
Research: The coherency to interpreted Japanese historical and geographic background into design details are the primary task of designing this suite. For example, we embed the abstract of pilgrimage path (In order to reach to the Mountain Temple in Yamagata Japan, people need to climb up 1015 steps along the mountain path) on the headboard, by flipping through the folding fabric steps on headboard, guest virtually climb up to their mountain temple in heart. We use shimmering thread to embroider the image of Mountain Temple at the end of path, so it will be only visible when you are up and closed to the top. Shimmering embroidery hints the temple never dimmed.
Inspiration: Yamadera meaning Mountain Temple in Japanese. As the heart of Hotel Yamagata Kaku Jiaoxi Taiwan, the exclusive Yamadera suite was named after the symbolic Mountain Temple in Yamagata Japan to deliver the main philosophy of the hotel(sister hotel of Yamagata Prefecture).

“A threshold access to inner world
Explore the deepest beauty of your mind
Cave within cave
Layer after layer
Finding the light of your life”
Project Duration: The project started in April 2017 and finished in Feb 2019 in Jiaoxi, Taiwan
Operation Flow: Cave-like resting/sleeping area forms an enclosed space, an isolated space to enjoy solitude. A small concave space inter-mediating the foyer and bedding area is an abstract shrine to paint a sacred tone to space
