Project Background
Overlooking the elegant and luxurious camping experience of Wakayama Shirahama, Shiosai Terrace serves as one of the primary tourist destinations in the Kansai region, offering a luxurious camping site in the Shirahama area of Wakayama. Nestled on a scenic hill, it provides visitors with a locale where they can get up close with nature while enjoying a luxurious camping experience. In 2019, Shiosai Terrace underwent an upgrade and reopened as the SHIOSAI TERRACE PREMIUM GLAMPING RESORT. Ten unique large dome tents, each with a unique viewing position, allow visitors to enjoy the beauty of Shirahama right from their rooms. Here, not only can visitors have a charming camping experience in Wakayama Nanki Shirahama, but they can also engage in various customized activities to experience the natural and cultural essence of Wakayama.
Challenges
1/ This project comprises 5 sets of 6-meter diameter living domes and one specially designed cocoon-type living space, which poses a challenge in maintaining consistent construction and operational standards.
2/ Condensation and fog are the most concerning issues in this project. Being located on a hill, the area experiences humid climate conditions, where the formation of condensation and fog could potentially impact the camping experience and the maintenance of facilities. Additionally, the Wakayama region may encounter cold weather during winter; hence, ensuring the tents are warm and comfortable while effectively handling condensation and fog issues are key challenges in the project development and operation.
