这个项目是鸟取县一家小型建筑公司的行政大楼,该公司来自附近的一个小城市。在最近的大流行病中,该公司选择将其办公室搬迁到附近的农村地区。新的地点动植物资源丰富,有小规模的农业建筑和以附近的死火山大山为中心的视野。该公司希望这种环境能够为他们自己和他们的团队提供一个逃离城市禁锢的沉闷的机会。

This project is the administration building for a small construction firm from Tottori, a nearby small city. In the midst of the recent pandemic, the firm opted to relocate its office to a nearby rural area. The new location is abundant in flora and fauna, with small-scale agricultural buildings and a vista dominated by the nearby extinct volcano Mt Daisen. The firm hoped that this setting would provide an escape from the dreariness of city lockdown for themselves and their team.

作为一个终点站或基础设施建筑,”工作舱 “在其环境中是独立存在的;在一个村庄的稻田中的停车场。 就像附近的谷仓一样,工作棚在一天开始时随着工人的到来而被激活,而在下班后则被闲置起来。

In the manner of a terminus or infrastructural building, the Work Hut stands alone in its context; a car park in a village amongst rice paddies. Like the nearby barns, the Work Hut is activated at the start of the day, with the arrival of workers, and sits unused after hours.

与农业建筑一样,”工作棚 “需要耐磨,由钢、混凝土和铝组成。 一个45°的斜屋顶可以遮挡冬季的大雪。 屋檐下可以看到一个柏树屋顶结构。 从远处看,”工作小屋 “看起来像一个新的谷仓建筑。

As with agricultural buildings, the Work Hut needed to be hard-wearing and is of steel, concrete, and aluminium construction. A 45° angled pitched roof sheds the heavy winter snowfalls. A cypress roof structure is visible under the eaves. From a distance, the Work Hut looks like a new barn building.

也许是受到大流行病的幽闭恐惧症的启发,这种工作方式–从城市到乡村–与人们从日本农村流向大城市寻找工作的情况相悖。这座简单的建筑被其居民昵称为 “工作小屋”,它位于一座巨大的火山底部,容纳了来自不同地方的人,似乎强调了建筑在避难所的开始。

Perhaps inspired by the claustrophobia of the pandemic, this way of working – from city to country – goes against the exodus of people from rural Japan to big cities in search of work. Nicknamed ‘Work Hut’ by its inhabitants, this simple building’s position at the base of an enormous volcano, accommodating people from a different place, seems to emphasise architecture’s beginnings in the shelter.
