Walking on the streets of Hakodate, one sees brick warehouses, Western-style buildings, and storehouses that give a sense of the city’s history as a port town open to the world. At the same time, one encounters many buildings featuring curious blends of Japanese and Western styles, with the first floor in Japanese and the second floor designed in Western style.

This project is the second public bathhouse Schemata Architects has designed. Originally, sento (public bathhouses) quickly sprang up in the Kanto region when there were no baths in homes, especially after World War II, to improve public sanitation. At that time, Mt. Fuji was painted on the walls of many sento in the Kanto region as a symbol of hope. And the daily routine of going to the bathhouse connected people, and the bathhouse functioned as a place for the local community.

The name and concept of the "365°" building was inspired by a way of life that began to take on a completely different meaning than it had before the Corona disaster. Many people now wanted to work from home, spend time with their families, and keep their distance when necessary. At the same time, the name is a cross between the circular design and the concept, with the hope that the family would be able to enjoy a happy and fulfilling life every day, 365 days a year, on this wonderful piece of land at the top of a small hill, surrounded by beautiful nature in 360 degrees.

Hana Abdel — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 19:00:00 +0000

Sento, or Japanese public bathhouses, have been a long-time favorite communal gathering place where people feel a sense of connection to their communities. Now that 95% of households in Japan own private bathrooms, many sento have been forced to close due to a shrinking customer base, even though there are a certain number of long-time fans. In such a situation, Koganeyu boldly decided to renovate the existing bathhouse and ventured into a new era, and we were commissioned to undertake the renovation.

Walking down a Midosuji main street to the area with mid-to-high-rise residential and commercial buildings, suddenly a residential area filled densely with two storey wooden houses appeared. YMT-house is located in this area and measures just 49.5 square meter with 4m open width and 11m depth. In this limited condition, the client firstly required spacious living room for family of four, and then private rooms, enough storage, and the rooftop. To enrich and enhance life style while meeting all these requirements, the project focuses on the scale difference between each room.
