| HOURAI |
| 老舗旅館の1フロアを改装する産学協同プロジェクト。大きな亀の上にあり仙人が住むとされる伝説の山、蓬莱山にちなんでHOURAIと名付けられました。 客室は数値制御(NC)による機械加工によって層状に名栗を施した羽目板で東の壁一面を覆いました。夕日が部屋に差し込むと蓬莱山の山肌のような地層が壁面に現れます。海上にたち現れては消えるという蓬莱山伝説をプロジェクトの敷地条件と共に空間化しました。 |
| HOURAI project is an industry-university cooperating project renovating a special floor of an old Japanese hotel in Yamagata. And it was named from the legend of Mt. Hourai-san, where the mysterious turtle and Japanese gods are said to live in. The wall of each guiest rooms is made with wainscot which is layered with different Naguri textures sculptured by numerical control machining. The wall appears in different ways little by little corresponding to the change of sun light and when the setting sun shine the wall, the stratum such as the surface of the Mt. Hourai-san shows up. It is tried expressing the legend of the Mt. Hourai-san, which flickers on the ocean, with using the unique location of the hotel. |
