Bathing Shed

EN / JP

 

A proposal for a surfer's wooden home, exhibited in "Seven Young Architects Design a Surfer's Home." The exhibition was held inside the cars of the Shonan Monorail, making use of advertising space to experiment with a novel exhibition style.

We proposed a home that focuses in on the function that is most closely involved with surfing: bathing. We designed a "Bathing Shed" that allows that inhabitant to enter the bathing space directly from outside. The space has a high ceiling that allows the user to relax and take their time, and is intended to be used outside of bathing as well­– for fixing up surf boards, or for reading. Our proposal is a "bath/living room," a new form of living space. The other functions of the dwelling are made compact, as we envisioned that the structure could be built anywhere, to be used as a guest house for existing homes along the Shonan Monorail.
