銀座の夜景を楽しむサウナを設計した。ポンチョで整うことのできるルーフバルコニーからは数寄屋橋交差点に向けて広がる銀座の夜景を楽しむことができる。構造体や壁面の杉、ベンチの檜から漂う天然木の香りに包まれ、銀座の喧騒を感じながらもリラックスした時間を過ごす。水回りのメンテナンスを考慮しつつも、できるだけ天然の素材をそのままに使用することを心がけた。木や石、左官材のザラついた素材感を直接肌に感じながら無機質な都心の中で生き物としての活力を少しでも取り戻す時間を共有できたらと思う。

This project is a sauna designed to offer views of Ginza’s nightscape. From the rooftop balcony, where guests can relax in ponchos, the city unfolds toward the Sukiyabashi intersection. Surrounded by the scent of natural timber, the cedar of the structure and walls, and the cypress of the benches visitors can enjoy a calm and restorative time while still immersed in the bustle of Ginza.

While maintenance of the water facilities was carefully considered, every effort was made to use natural materials in their raw form. Wood, stone, and textured plaster finishes were left exposed, allowing guests to feel their rough, tactile qualities directly on the skin. In this way, the sauna creates moments in which people can regain a sense of vitality as living beings, even within the inorganic environment of the city.
