金泽是日本海边的一个古老的城堡城市，以其茶馆区和传统工艺而闻名。在这个独特的背景下，我们提出了一个酒店，用于向外国和国内的客人介绍当地社区和它的历史。
Kanazawa is an old castle town on the Sea of Japan, famous for its tea-house districts and traditional crafts. Within this unique context, we proposed a hotel that serves to introduce foreign and domestic guests to the local community and its history.
该酒店以其概念命名。KUMU。这是一个具有许多细微差别的日本动词：根据上下文，这个词可以表示 “加入”（组合む），”引出”（汲む），或 “倒出”（酌む）。在更大的意义上，”kumu “与人和地方之间的联系（连接）、同理心（引出和阅读他人的感受）以及好客的精神（给别人倒酒）有关。
The hotel is named after its concept: KUMU. This is a Japanese verb with many nuances: depending on the context, the word can mean “to join” (組む), “to draw out” (汲む), or “to pour” (酌む). In a larger sense, “kumu” relates to the links between people and places (joining), empathy (drawing out and reading another’s feelings), and the spirit of hospitality (pouring someone a drink).
这个概念导致了一个具有包容性和参与性的酒店。该酒店位于一栋翻新的办公楼内，包括从宿舍到套房的各种选择，以满足当今旅行者的不同需求。在与金泽的茶馆的对话中，一楼的茶沙龙将酒店与社区 “连接 “起来，并吸引客人去探索这个城市的其他地方。”Kumu “也出现在其他地方。大堂里的木格子使用了传统的日本细木工制品，它也用来支持用于划分空间的模块化墙板。定制设计的家具结合了不同的纹理和材料，而客房的屏幕则采用了网格状的细节设计。
This concept leads to a hotel that is inclusive and engaged with its context. Housed in a renovated office building, the hotel includes options ranging from dormitories to suites to accommodate the diverse needs of travelers today. In dialogue with Kanazawa’s tea houses, a tea salon on the ground floor “joins” the hotel to the community and entices guests to explore other places in the city. “Kumu” also appears in other places. Traditional Japanese joinery was used for the timber grid in the lobby, which also serves to support modular wall panels for subdividing the space. The custom-designed furniture joins different textures and materials, while the screens in the guest rooms feature grid-like detailing.
借鉴当地的环境，给客人倒杯茶，将人们与一个地方和彼此联系起来：这就是KUMU的意义所在。
Drawing on the local context, pouring guests a cup of tea, joining people to a place and to one another: this is what KUMU is all about.
日本有悠久的旅馆传统，称为 “旅馆”，这些旅馆在历史上形成了游客在全国旅行的基础设施。酒店是一种现代发展，但这也许也意味着它是一种更容易被重新想象的东西。
Japan has a long tradition of inns called ryokan, and these have historically formed the infrastructure for visitors traveling throughout the country. Hotels are a modern development, but that perhaps also means that it is something that is easier to imagine anew.
