Cow Barn in Appi
Iwate, Japan
This cow barn serves both for milk producing cows themselves and for summer tourists in Appi resort. Cows become more productive, moving in this newly constructed barn. They have been refreshed. For the sake of the cow farming enterprise, the milk quantity increase is important particularly for the decision toward constructing this new barn. However, the key intention lies on the further expectation for summer tourists. The project wishes to affect them. Based upon the market analysis, summer tourists in general prefer the straightforwardness of the cow farming enterprise. They may dislike the attraction-oriented flattering. Thus, this new cow barn should seriously stay as a milk producing factory. Those summer tourists should look at the real processing of the cow farming. The project, with a robot operated milking machine, houses 44 cows. This machine, made in Sweden, is the third first introduction to Japan.
Situated in the highland’s landscape, the configuration of the roof responds to the site context. On the people’s approach from the hotels, the roof configuration deliberately captures the undulation of the meadow slope in front. It is gradually raised to reach to the climax where the series of ventilation slit openings are placed. This area has overhang to cover the visitor’s passage along the southern edge of the cow barn. Visitors are allowed to look at the cow farming activity only from this passage, covered by the overhang. They are to be controlled to keep staying outside. Limited numbered visitors, guided by the responsible staff, are specially allowed nearly to see the robot machine which is completely automated for milking cows constantly for 24 hours.
