札幌市の都心部に建つ美容系のﾃﾅﾝﾄﾋﾞﾙの計画である。

敷地周辺は高層建物が近接するような環境であり、1ﾌﾛｱに1ﾃﾅﾝﾄという条件が特徴だったため、各階のﾃﾅﾝﾄ毎の振舞いや

雰囲気が都市に滲み出るような状態を作りたいと考えた。まずは内部のﾃﾅﾝﾄと建物正面の大きな開口部の間に余白ｽﾍﾟｰｽを設ける。

このｽﾍﾟｰｽは内部のﾃﾅﾝﾄの延長であり、都市や外部との緩衝帯として機能する縁側のような場となる。

そうすることで、利用者は都市という公共から距離を取り段々と私的なｽﾍﾟｰｽへと移行することが可能となる。

また各階の特徴や違いというものをを分かりやすく表現するため、階高や窓の高さ、ｻｯｼ間の帯のｽｹｰﾙを調整した。

正面の大きな開口部には半透明のｶｰﾃﾝを設け、間接照明により柔らかな光を生み出す。これらのｶｰﾃﾝは光や気温等の環境状態に応じて、ﾃﾅﾝﾄ側が自由に調整することが可能であり、それに伴い建物の外観に動きが出るようにした。

現代のｼｽﾃﾏﾁｯｸに建てられる建物外観に対しささやかなｽﾞﾚを作り、忙しない都市の喧騒の中で静かに呼吸するような建築を目指した。

This project is a health and beauty multi-tenant building situated in Sapporo’s downtown area next to the iconic shopping arcade Tanukikoji. Despite the narrow site and the surrounding high-rise buildings, we have designed a space where the unique movement and atmosphere of each user on every floor can be experienced, creating an intriguing user experience that resonates throughout the city.

First, we created an open space and a large opening at the front of the building. This space serves as an extension of each tenant's internal area, acting as a semi-private zone and functioning as a buffer between the engawa-like space and the city. This allows users to distance themselves from the city’s public space and gradually transition into a private space.

Our design strategy to clearly express the characteristics and differences of each floor involved combining the floor height, window height, and window frames. This unique approach sets our building apart, making it a standout feature in Sapporo's downtown area.

Along with the indirect lights, translucent curtains cover the large openings at the front, creating a soft, diffused light effect. Users can adjust these curtains according to environmental conditions, such as light and temperature.  We believe that this will not only enhance the user experience but also create a dynamic effect when viewed from the outside, looking into the building's interior, sparking the imagination of passersby. 

Our aim was not just to create a building, but to craft a unique architectural experience. We sought to develop a slight deviation from the current systematic construction of building exteriors, and instead, to design an architecture that breathes quietly amid the hustle and bustle of a busy city. This departure from tradition is a testament to our goal of creating an innovative approach.
