To revitalize this area and, ultimately, Hyakushima island, local authorities set out initiatives to utilize and activate these lands and buildings, which led Tetra Works (see more here) to join these efforts and complete the Setouchi Hidden Retreat Resort AMERI.
As the planned site sits about thirty meters from the sandy beach of the Seto Inland Sea, efforts were made to maximize the charm of the island through the building morphology and layout.
A key feature is to maximize sea views for visitors in the guest rooms by providing an elevated viewing room from the ground level with panoramic framings of the opposite shore. This viewing room even protrudes from the outer perimeter, creating a playful wooden volume.
'The architecture aims to leverage the island's charm, contributing to its revitalization and hoping to pass down this contribution to future generations,' concludes Tetra Works.
