For the commentary monitor of displays sword displays, while following the sword appreciation theory, we made it easier for a wider range of generations to read by using large letters and using many furigana. <Our project members> [Sales] Izumiichiro Yamamoto, Kyoko Watanabe [Planning, graphic direction, video direction] Yuki Shimokuni [Furniture concept design] Dairo Miyake

Located in the Toi district of Nishiizu, the Former Suzuki Residence is a large mansion consisting of a main building and three storehouses, and has been popular as a central presence in the area since the Edo period. Keeping in mind the value of spending time with the beauty of the past, we have renovated each building and exterior as an auberge with two rooms for overnight stays. The floor plan of the main building, which gives a feeling of being closed off, has been reconsidered, and the space has been expanded vertically and horizontally to ensure modern comfort. We wanted to inherit the atmosphere of the past by making the most of the spatial individuality of each of the three storehouses and adding a minimal design. Two of them were renovated into lodging buildings with luxurious outdoor open-air baths, and one of them was a lounge. and a function that also serves as a spa. Combined with surrounding accommodation facilities, we have realized an auberge that blends into the community and is loved. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] While Toi has long been popular as a hot spring inn area, there are few variations of restaurants, and there are cafes that serve as sightseeing bases and tourism content that makes use of the food resources of Nishiizu. For many years, the lack of excursion consumption by tourists has been a problem. Rather than prioritizing business profitability, the request was that the facility should be of benefit to the region, and that it would continue to be accepted and loved by tourists and local residents. [Solution] At our company, we believe that it is necessary to respect the passage of time that the buildings have accumulated on this land, find out the flavor of each building, and create a design that can turn them into charm. The floor plan was reviewed while considering the structural burden of the existing non-conforming building. , Sannokura respects the taste of each building, such as the two-story vertical spread and the mud wall hidden behind the board wall, and that becomes the charm of each facility itself. [Customer's voice] As a result of the restoration of the former Suzuki residence, which represents the history of Doi, with extremely high-quality design and construction technology in a short delivery time, not only tourists who come to "LOQUAT Nishiizu" but also the local community Residents also visit the museum almost every day, and it has become a place of relaxation that provides a little bit of richness in their daily lives. Day after day, not only the lodging buildings, but also the restaurants, bakeries, and gelaterias are so busy that they continue to be full or sold out. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Shinya Hiratsuka, Nobuyuki Yagi [Planning] Saki Ninomiya [Design and planning] Norio Koito, Hiroshi Inoue, Tadahiro Nakajima, Ryotaro Tezuka [Production and construction] Atsushi Endo, Takayuki Inoue, Kikuchi field
