About Bizen Sue 호텔
비젠 스에(Bizen Sue)는 오카야마현 비젠시에 위치한 호텔이다. 2층 규모의 목조 건축물로, 주변 경관과 조화를 이루도록 설계되었다. 천연 소재를 사용한 실내는 따뜻하고 차분한 분위기를 자아낸다. 욕조는 1400년의 역사를 지닌 지역 전통 공예인 비젠야키 도자기로 제작되었다. 대지의 경사를 따라 배치된 다수의 창은 자연 채광과 자연 환기를 유입시켜 인공조명과 냉난방의 필요를 줄여준다. 공용 공간은 투숙객들이 서로 교류할 수 있도록 마련되었다. 대지 면적은 718제곱미터이다.

- 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
