Living in a Bamboo Grove | 竹林に棲む

This was a competition proposal for a private rental accommodation facility on Awaji Island. The concept focused on utilizing the island’s abundant bamboo resources and addressing the issue of neglected bamboo groves by proposing a bamboo-based stay experience. The primary structure was designed as a hybrid system combining conventional timber framing with round bamboo columns used to support the roof and vertical loads.
A simple bamboo storage and treatment area was planned on-site, allowing not only for bamboo use during construction but also for the easy replacement and maintenance of bamboo components after completion. The proposal passed the first screening and advanced to the interview stage, but was unfortunately not selected for implementation.

淡路島の１棟貸し宿泊施設のコンペティション案。淡路島の豊富な竹林資源の活用と放置竹林問題を背景とし，竹を活用した滞在空間を提案。主構造は在来木造とし，屋根と鉛直荷重を支持する柱群を丸竹とした木＋丸竹の混構造とした。計画敷地内に簡易的な竹のストック置場と保護処理場を設け，建設時はもちろんのこと，建設後も必要に応じて竹部材の交換やメンテナンスが容易に行える計画とした。１次審査を通過しヒアリング審査までコマを進めたものの，残念ながら落選。
