在群马县著名的草津温泉,建筑师设计了一座单间旅馆。餐厅位于一楼,正对着著名的温泉场地。

In the famousKusatsu Onsen (hot spring) in Gunma Prefecture, we designed a one-room ryokan.On the first floor, the restaurant directly faces the famous hot spring fields.

设计师通过在外墙上镶嵌取自温泉中的浅间石,将建筑和景观连接成一个立体的景色。为了进一步与景观协调,曲线几何形状与从温泉升起的蒸汽的柔软运动产生共鸣,展现了设计师对当地材料的使用技巧。

By using Asama stone found in hot springs on the exterior walls, we connectedbuilding and landscape into a three-dimensional landscape. To further harmonizewith the landscape, curve geometries that resonate with the soft movement ofsteam rising from the hot springs govern how we arranged the use of localmaterials.

在室内,各种当地材料如浅间石水磨石、日式和纸和碎石等混合在一起,并在潮湿区域使用了通常用于温泉地面的瓷砖材料。

In the interior,local materials such as Asama stone terrazzo, Japanese washi paper mixed withcrushed local stones are present. The wet areas use tile materials that aretypically used for the floor of the hot spring fields.

通过在整个建筑中融入汤畑温泉的材料和几何元素,设计师将历史悠久的草津町的质感浓缩在这座小小的建筑中。

By incorporatingmaterial and geometrical elements of Yubatake hot springs throughout thebuilding, we condensed the materiality of the historic town of Kusatsu in thissmall building.
