LOQUAT Villa SUGURO

This project involves renovating an old traditional house in the Odoi district of Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, into a rental accommodation facility. This area was once a quiet area where local magistrates lived, and the plan was to offer a stay that incorporates the surrounding environment, allowing guests to experience the slow flow of time transcending time.

The main house will have a kitchen where guests can enjoy dinner prepared by a visiting chef and alcohol served at a mobile bar.The interiors will utilize local materials, with earthen walls made from local soil and dining tables made from locally grown cherry wood, in an attempt to create a space using local materials just like in the Edo period.


[Social issues/customer issues/requests]
In order to make the most of the old house that could be rented out as a whole, the client requested that we take into account the characteristics of the site and create an attractive space concept design.


[Solution]
While taking advantage of the charm of the existing building, we incorporated a spatial composition that maximizes the surrounding views and finishes that utilize local soil.
