About Bizen Sue Hoteli
Bizen Sue ni hoteli iliyoko katika Jiji la Bizen, Mkoa wa Okayama. Jengo lenye ghorofa mbili lililojengwa kwa mbao limebuniwa ili liweze kuchanganyika na mandhari ya eneo linalozunguka. Vifaa vya asili vinatoa ndani ya jengo hisia ya joto na utulivu. Bafu limetengenezwa kwa ufinyanzi wa Bizen, kazi ya asili ya kienyeji yenye historia ya miaka 1400. Madirisha mengi yanafuata mteremko wa eneo na kuruhusu mwanga wa jua na mzunguko wa hewa asilia kuingia, hivyo kupunguza uhitaji wa taa za bandia na viyoyozi. Kuna chumba cha pamoja kinachowawezesha wageni kukutana. Eneo la mradi lina ukubwa wa mita za mraba 718.

- 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
