Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This is the hybrid hotel which has capsule beds and guest rooms for various accommodation styles in Hamamatsu-cho. You can stay here not just for business trips but sightseeing and foreign tourists visiting Japan too. All guest rooms have 2 meters square window to feel opened and look out over the town. Enjoy relaxing, cooking, eating, daydreaming at common spaces of kitchen and rooftop and so on.
- Inspiration
- This proposal is mainly derived from the characteristics of this site and the recent hotel situation. Initially, the planned site was being considered for use as a condominium site. However, due to the recent increase in inbound tourists and the trend of hosting the Olympic Games, the Hamamatsucho area has become attractive as a hotel location and has a history of conversion to a hotel plan.
- Research
- With the theme of "chemical reaction by adding community", this plan makes use of experience such as share house, collective house, hostel and hotel. Based on our track record of accumulating the idea of "designing connections" in both software and hardware, we have realized a hotel for business people and leisure use in Japan and overseas in the Hamamatsucho area of Tokyo. At hostels such as "IMANO TOKYO", in addition to the public cafe lounge, a common space is created in each guest room and on the flow line around the water. It's a different point. A community does not grow with space, but lives because it is created in a place where people come and go as needed.
- Challenge
- For the hotel, there is the required size. But this site is too small to give enough wideness. However we make use of this small and get the big brightness into the hotel room by the big, compared this room size, window.
- Realization and Technology
- Steel frame and Extrusion molded cement.
- Operation and Interaction
- Many hotels in the city center have to plan small rooms in order to increase profitability. Under such circumstances, this plan uses the keywords "town VOID," "guest room SCALE design," and "share COMMUNITY." We aimed for a "new hotel life" that realizes a private life that is a little different from everyday life, while keeping comfort and relaxation at the root.
- Project Duration and Location
- January 2018～January 2020
- Specifications
- Site area 263.91㎡ Building area 146.44㎡ Total floor area 1,298.21㎡ Steel structure, 10 floors above ground
- Keywords
- brightness, share community, scale design, town void, small urban hotel
