The project site is located in the heart of Nagasaki, Japan, with the stadium to the south, the unique sloping residential areas of Nagasaki to the east, Mount Inasa—the symbol of the city—to the west, and Peace Park to the north along the river.
Our aim was to create a new definition of design, one that contrasts with the design typically dictated by the land of Nagasaki. The project seeks to serve as a platform to nurture business and human resources from Nagasaki, allowing them to spread their wings to the world, with a focus on new creativity, new hospitality, and new architecture.
Local stone, timber, architectural styles, steel plates, and primitive materials were interpreted in a contemporary way and incorporated into the design. We actively utilized traditional local building materials, minimizing the use of superficial materials as much as possible, and created a space that is not only visually appealing but also authentic in quality.
The details were crafted with the intent to move beyond mere ornamentation, aiming instead to achieve a genuine texture that speaks to authenticity.
The space emphasizes the seamless continuity between the interior and exterior environments, integrating the surrounding landscape.
