NOT A HOTEL FUKUOKA
Fukuoka, Japan
City, Architecture, Nature, and In Between
NOT A HOTEL FUKUOKA
-----
A condominium hotel in a quiet residential area. The project is seamlessly connected to the surrounding detached house, gardens, parks, and streetscape, and is intended to be both a part of all of them and a part of none of them. We rethink architecture as an uncertain entity that allows for a variety of possibilities.
Architecture for a New Way of Life
The plan is for condominium-style hotels equipped with the latest IT technology. Users will be able to use the brand's hotels scattered around the country for reciprocal use. This is a new type of program based on the concept of “living as you travel. The architecture was required to accommodate a new lifestyle, whether it be a house, a villa, or a hotel.
In order to respond to the diverse lifestyles of today, eight rooms, each with a different concept, are stacked on top of each other, such as a room with a large desk and specialized workspace, or a room with a chef and specialized dining space.
As if on a journey, visitors are free to use the space for various purposes. It is no longer a single architecture, but a city. From the beginning of the preliminary hearings, I had an image of a space like a three-dimensional city, made up of various houses stacked on top of each other.
To blend in with the environment while being a new form.
The site is located in a quiet residential area with abundant greenery in the center of Fukuoka City. There, we wanted to build a commercial facility that was large compared to its surroundings. We wanted to find an architectural form that would be unique and embody a new program, but at the same time blend in with the surrounding environment.
The surrounding area is rich in urban greenery such as parks, shrines, and rows of trees, and the streetscape is formed by small low-rise buildings. By assembling the rich nature in the city and the architecture with small volumes, the richness of the architecture and the city are seamlessly connected. The upper volume is set back to minimize the shadows cast on the adjacent park.
A terrace that responds to the surrounding environment
The site is adjacent to a park and a shrine, and an elementary school nearby can be seen from the guest rooms. We wanted to create a private space that is sensitive to the bustle of the surrounding area and the line of sight, but at the same time open to the greenery of the city. Here, the greenery and the terrace on the surface of the building act as an interface, mediating the relationship between the city and the guest rooms (i.e., public and private).
The view from the adjacent housing complex, the various views of the city from the guest rooms, the shadows falling on the park, and the bustle of the park and elementary school. The architectural distance from the city is finely adjusted by the greenery and terraces. The space is not open or closed, but open and closed at the same time, with gradation. Each terrace/green has a different shape, allowing the residents to feel the city while living in an open manner.
Defining the interior space from the terrace
The interior space is defined by the terraces created in response to the surrounding environment.
For example, the terrace, directly accessible from the park side, is continuous with the earthen floor of the guest rooms where pets can be accommodated, and the Jacuzzi terrace on the upper floor, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is adjacent to a special rest area.
Each of the eight rooms, each with a different character, responds to the city through the terrace. We aimed to create rooms where guests can relax and feel connected to the city.
Architecture that blends the city, nature, and new life
It is seamlessly connected to the surrounding neighborhood of detached houses and the nature of the adjacent park, as if it has always existed there. On the other hand, it is also a symbol of a new lifestyle. We aim to create an uncertain architecture that allows for a variety of perspectives and possibilities and that cannot be captured from a single point of view.
