LOQUAT Villa SUGURO

This is a renovation project for an old traditional house in the Odoi district of Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, to turn it into a rental accommodation facility. This area was once a quiet area where the magistrates lived, and the plan was to provide a stay that incorporates the surrounding environment, allowing the guest 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 alcoholic beverages from a movable bar. For interiors we used local materials, and attempted to create a space using local materials, just like in the Edo period, with walls made from local soil and dining tables made from locally grown cherry wood.


[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 consideration the characteristics of the site and create an attractive spatial concept design.


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