筑波山梅林おもてなし館
Mt.Tsukuba Omotenashi Rest House
筑波山梅林の中に建つ休憩所
自然共生型アウトドアアスレチックパーク：フォレストアドベンチャーの受付もこの中にあります。
筑波山登山の帰りに、梅林散策の途中に、薪ストーブを囲んで、ゆっくり過ごせるカフェになっています。
無垢の天然木をオリジナルで調合した天然塗料を塗り、山の景観を邪魔しないよう低くシンプルにしました。
構造はごく一般的な在来工法の木造です。耐力壁を井桁状に配置して、建物のコーナーと前面をすっきりと開け、窓の上下も枠が見えないように工夫して、風景が室内に入り込んでくるような抜けた感じと、風景と対比しながらも混ざり合うイメージでデザインしました。
Mt.Tsukuba Omotenashi Rest House
This cabin is a rest house for visitor in Japanese apricot Garden in Mt.Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
The heart of the Japanese "omotenashi" which means the hospitality is this Rest House’s name, it a place that feels at ease and a little peace of mine.
The design concept of this Rest House is blends in with the architecture and the surrounding landscape, while adding a bright simple accent.
Vertical line of the conspicuous columns and walls are in the brown color close to black, not to interfere with the natural landscape. In contrast, massive roof and the ceiling is speculated white.
As nature look more pronounced, one-story cabin is not to interfere with the mountain scenery and down the height of the volume.
Structure is a conventional wooden. Normally, front and side of building needs several walls, but by arranging it perpendicularly to the inside and put it to the outside of the building, it able to the front and both sides on the entire glass. There are no walls that separate the indoor and the outdoor.
As if passing through a walk in the woods, the building can be accessed from two directions.
There is a wood-burning stove. It is using firewood that the pruned branches in the park, it could provide warm in winter season.
