Project Background
Background
Hibiya Kadan "STAY" "Sato Rakusu FUJINO" (Relax Fujino) is the first glamping guest house in Hibiya Katan, offering visitors the ultimate healing space for a state or process of relaxation, stress reduction and rejuvenation. Located in a region known for its stunning natural beauty, Sato Rakusu FUJINO is an idyllic escape from the frenzy of city life, making it a great place to visit all year round. FUJINO is surrounded by natural mountains and lush greenery, where visitors can spend a relaxing and comfortable time.
Objectives
Hibiya Kadan "STAY" and "Sato Rakusu FUJINO" preserve the breath of nature and life to the greatest extent possible. Glamping guest house has become a precious place to stop and breathe in the suburbs of Sato. Therefore, the design of this project hopes to provide an impressive glamping dome campisite, so that visitors can have a face-to-face exchange with the outdoor scenery while resting, appreciate the charm of Sato, and awaken the power of life through new discoveries.
Through the clever arrangement of plants, Hibiya Kadan "STAY" "Sato Rakusu FUJINO" creates an indoor and outdoor leisure space that seems to blend with the nature of Fujino.
Challenge
Innovation and integration: Glamping Domes Cope with Humidity
In this practice, the main problem faced by the team is to solve the conflict between the serious mildew on the glamping dome outer cloth and the serious mildew on the insulation layer and the high humidity in the local environment. How to integrate outdoor elements into the design of glamping dome while meeting the functional requirements of the space is both a challenge and an opportunity. By improving dome materials, we chose to use new materials and modern techniques to create a contrast and fusion between the old and the new, and to tell the story through glamping dome space itself. Create a glamping event venue for Hibiya Kadan that promotes family interaction and provides relaxation for visitors.
Maintenance Excellence: Glamping Dome Maintenance
The Glamping dome is routinely cleaned each year and has been carefully maintained to maintain a high standard of durability and beauty, being the best maintained of the first geodesic balls.
Regular cleaning work includes not only the cleaning of the tarpaulin, but also the inspection and maintenance of the structure to ensure that all the connecting parts are strong and reliable, as well as the inspection of the electrical system and interior decoration to maintain its luxury and comfort.
Protection and Transparency: Dew Protection Measures for Glamping Dome
Glamping dome Transparent tarps and insulation sometimes have large areas of condensation and frost. Condensation may accumulate on the inside of the tarp, while frosting may form a thin layer of frost on the outside. This not only affects the transparent visual effect of the dome, but also may cause damage to the tarpaulin material. To combat this, maintenance teams take a variety of measures, using special waterproof and dew proof materials, changing tarps regularly, and installing additional insulation when necessary.
