About River Sea Vilă

River Sea este o vilă situată pe insula Awaji, în prefectura Hyogo, Japonia. Amplasamentul se află în apropierea gurii unui râu, iar axa planului se desfășoară de la nord la sud, orientată către apă. Clădirea este împărțită în trei părți: o clădire de intrare, o clădire pentru oaspeți și o clădire principală. Două curți interioare separă cele trei părți, iar o alee le conectează. De-a lungul aleii, granița dintre interior și exterior devine estompată. Pereții sunt acoperiți cu plăci de bordură realizate din țigle locale de acoperiș din Awaji. Structura pe un singur nivel limitează impactul asupra mediului înconjurător.

Production Technology
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).
Operation Flow
In this architecture, you can enjoy a space experience and relaxation that is unique to that place.
It is the material and space derived from that place.
