Kotobuki Hotel / micelle

Hana Abdel — Mon, 01 Jan 2024 20:00:00 +0000

Business hotel in Kanoya, the central city of Japan's southernmost peninsula. The idea was to build a business hotel on a low budget, which was necessary for the current situation, and to provide an opportunity for the city, which is conspicuously lacking in tourism resources, where vacant lots stand out like insects. The parking lot behind the hotel was also acquired as a site, and iand an extension building was constructed to provide the necessary floor space without demolishing the existing building. This extension reduced the number of vacant lots on the street, even if only slightly, and created a small streetscape with four buildings(three facilities), including a cheese factory designed by us on a neighboring site for enhanced food education and an existing restaurant next to it, creating lively activities and events of pedestrian scale.

KGM2 House / micelle

A project to rebuild a residence on a dark site on a northern slope into a residence for the working of ceramics in a hut. Considering the client's request for a 'fortress-like hut' to protect his creation and life from outdoor obstacles (noise that interferes with work, glare and reflections, thermal environment, unnecessary visitors, etc.), the concept was based on a membrane that selectively takes in the outside.

ARI Residence / micelle

The site is located on the edge of the sprawl, the residence and the farmland are intertwined, and the distinctive scenery of the "Japanese suburbs" with a strong contrast is characteristic. The owner is a person who engages in the construction industry and customize it while having fun　more and more from now on. So, I thought about a simple and primitive roof　of japan that can boldly change the environment and lifestyle by low-tech.
