KASAMABI Sauna / ujizono architects + bench

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 02:00:00 +0000

We planned a sauna facility in Kasama City, known since the Edo period as a center for Kasama ware and ceramics. The site is surrounded by a complex mix of environments: scattered ceramics schools, art museums, and golf facilities, yet also densely lined with residential homes. As a facility intended for use without clothing, the site could be read as being in a four-sided siege situation, enclosed by buildings and open fields.

Text description provided by BUNGA NET – The Ibaraki City Cultural and Child-rearing Support Complex ONIKURU is a public complex with multiple functions, including a theatre, library, childcare support, civic center, and planetarium. The site is right in front of Ibaraki City Hall. The majority of the exterior is unfinished 'as-struck' concrete, with an emphasis on slabs and pillars, giving an impression of the 'Dom-Ino' system. The facade does not make a strong statement, and if you came here without knowing anything about it, you might think it was a branch building of the city hall.

MyouKei-An" is a small one-story wooden house designed as a retirement retreat for a retiring 12th-generation female priest. The site was located along the approach to the temple, which has limited space. Originally, a prefabricated warehouse and a garage had been built there, so it was important to create a house and at the same time, to improve the landscape of the temple grounds.

This project is a plan to relocate "Ranran, a specialty ice and potato shop" in Ibaraki, Osaka. The existing shop in the shopping street will be relocated to a single wooden house where the owner's family used to live. And the house was renovated and turned into a new store. When designing the store, we put great importance on the wishes of the customers to be welcomed in a space with Ran-Ran's unique style.

A learning space for the Internet age - Located in the leafy city of Ibaraki in northern Osaka Prefecture, this project forms the core of the Ibaraki Smart Community, which occupies the 185,000 m² site of a former Toshiba factory. The 40,000 m² facility will serve as a new campus for about 3,600 students at Otemon Gakuin University, or about half the student population. As Internet technology, artificial intelligence, and mobility improve and students no longer need to be on campus to attend school, what form will universities take?
