连锁胶囊酒店的第二个场馆ºC位于哥大站东口旁的红灯区中心。我们改造的这栋楼以前是一家不同公司旗下的胶囊酒店，我们在改造中保留了现有的胶囊单元。考虑到这个小区的客户群，这个胶囊酒店只针对男性客户。第一次来的顾客，在这个比较庸俗的小区找酒店的时候，可能会觉得有点不放心。他可能会在十字路口的拐角处找到酒店，觉得很放心，但当他进入大楼时，又会觉得不放心–建筑工程完工了吗？

The second venue of the capsule hotel chain ºC is situated at the center of a red-light district next to the east exit of Gotanda Station. The building we renovated was formerly a capsule hotel owned by a different company, and we kept the existing capsule units as they are in the renovation. This capsule hotel is for male customers only, considering the customer base in this district. A first-time customer may feel a bit uneasy when looking for the hotel in this rather vulgar neighborhood. He may feel relieved to find the hotel on the corner at a crossing but may feel uneasy again when he enters the building–– has the building work finished yet?!

在这个项目中，通过将建筑剥离到最低限度来创造空间。地下室原来的公共浴池被改造成了桑拿和淋浴房。拆除后的内部状况很独特：它有点像一个洞穴，有投影和凹陷的部分和死角。我们将现有的结构重新想象成一个山洞，并观察每一个现有的形态，为每一个空间找到最合适的用途。

In this project, spaces were created by stripping down the building to a bare minimum. The former public bath in the basement was renovated into a sauna and shower room. The post-demolition condition of the interior was unique: it was somewhat like a cave with projected and recessed parts and dead-ends. We reimagined the existing structure as a cave and observed each existing form to find the most appropriate use for each space.

狭长的空间，高高的天花板，被改造成了一个阶梯式的桑拿房，人们可以根据地板的高度享受不同的热力强度。在墙壁上安装了 “暖柱”（TOTO生产），围绕着一个封闭的小山洞式空间（我们认为是以前的厕所），顾客可以在这里享受强烈的喷水流。客房基本保持原样，而原有的墙纸则被拆除，新建的墙面则不做任何修饰，以使现有的胶囊单元与裸露的室内形成对比，刷新昭和时期胶囊酒店的过时印象。

A narrow and long space with a high ceiling was converted into a sauna with a stepped floor where one can enjoy different heat intensities according to the floor height. “Warm pillar“ (manufactured by TOTO) were installed on walls surrounding a small enclosed cave-like space (which we assumed to be a former toilet) where customers can enjoy strong waterjet streams. Guestrooms were basically kept as they were, while the existing wallpaper was removed and newly constructed walls were left unfinished to create a contrast between the existing capsule units and the bare interior and refresh the outdated impression of the Showa period-style capsule hotel.
