LOQUAT Villa SUGURO

This is a plan to renovate an old private house in the Odoi district of Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture into a rental accommodation facility. This area used to be a quiet area where magistrates lived long ago, and we planned to offer a stay that incorporates the surrounding environment so that you can experience the slow flow of time beyond time.

The main building has a kitchen, and services such as dinner by a traveling chef and the provision of alcohol from a movable bar are provided. For interiors, we used local materials, and tried to create a space using local materials, just like in the Edo period, such as a clay wall made from local soil and a dining table made from local cherry trees.


[Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests]
In order to make the most of the old private house that is rented as a whole, we read the characteristics of the site and requested an attractive space concept design.


【solution】
While making the most of the charm of the existing building, we incorporated a spatial composition that maximizes the view of the surroundings and a finish that utilizes local soil.
