Metaverse space “Hokkaido Rock House” by Sou Fujimoto unveiled
2022.07.09
We are grateful to announce the release of “Hokkaido Rock House,” a metaverse space created in collaboration with architect Sousuke Fujimoto. The “Hokkaido Rock House” is a virtual space that reproduces the architecture that Mr. Fujimoto envisioned in his own free spirit, with wooden furniture from CondeHouse. The setting is a condominium in the Daisetsuzan mountain range overlooking Asahikawa. A dynamic architecture was born that only be created virtually. Please enjoy the experience of spending a comfortable life in the natural space of Daisetsuzan.
Restaurant
The “Hokkaido Rock House” is designed to welcome visitors with seasonal views. It consists of the main “ROCK HOUSE” and a separate long-term condominium building. ROCK HOUSE is an architectural space that blends with nature by dynamically incorporating rocks, trees, and water. The reception area, lounge, restaurant, and other facilities are located within this space. Each condominium is designed with a glass-walled pool overlooking the natural beauty of Hokkaido. The two concepts of LINEAR HOUSE and DOUBLE HEIGHT HOUSE can be viewed.
LINEAR HOUSE
DOUBLE HEIGHT HOUSE
The Concept of Hokkaido Rock House
Inspired by the nature of Hokkaido, where CondeHouse is based and I was born and raised, I conceived of an architecture in which nature and manmade objects resonate beautifully together. It is like a primordial world, but at the same time, it is a landscape that somehow evokes the future. The strength of the cave echoes with the lightness and delicacy of the building, and the elegant wooden furniture by CondeHouse harmonizes with it. I think we have created a building that symbolizes the relationship between nature and us, living together, sometimes facing each other and sometimes as one.
