YOKI SAUNA
FOREST DOOR

We were in charge of the design, naming, and VI for a private sauna attached to an accommodation facility built to make use of an abandoned school, the former Kagura Elementary School, in Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture. Based on the structure of a barrel sauna, we installed a long and narrow window with a stepped ceiling to allow light to enter in the morning. As a result, the round roof with the step became a new icon. This sauna is located in Aogaki, Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture, which is filled with the headwaters of the Kako River. The sauna's water bath uses this high-quality natural water and the thinned wood cut down from the mountains by the company that operates it, Kiei Co. Based on this concept, we named the sauna "Yoki Sauna" with the symbol mark of four trees circulating.​​​​​​​
兵庫県丹波市にある廃校「旧神楽小学校」の廃校利用として建設された宿泊施設に併設されたプライベートサウナのデザインおよびネーミング、VIを担当しました。

バレルサウナの構造を基本とし、朝に光が入るように天井に段差を付けて細長い窓を取り付けました。その結果丸い屋根に段差ができ、新しいアイコンになりました。

加古川の源流を湛える兵庫県丹波市青垣にあるこの場所では、その水質の良さからサウナの水風呂への利用を行い、また施設を運営する株式会社木栄が山から切り倒してきた間伐材を活用するコンセプトに基づき、四つの木が循環する様をシンボルマークに「よきサウナ」とネーミングしました。
