Week 5: Materiality

Images below are my own research the different types of textures that i have found.

For my final materials i have decided that i also wanted to incorporate the nature inside, with a good view of the pocket forest as i didn’t wanna take away the actual experience of indoor and outdoor bathing experience.

I wanted the walls inside to be wood just like the images below, while keeping the original wall materials to be the same as it is.

Ginzan Onsen Fujiya, Yamagata, 2008 – Kengo Kuma and associates:

Kubo tsushima:

Sumiya Kiho-an Ryokan in Kyoto

For my open area for the main bathing space i wanted to put a huge glass that separates the bathing space to the pocket forest, in doing so it can be turned into an indoor and an outdoor experience.
