设计特色：隈研吾建筑都市设计事务所在佐贺县鹿岛市将一座百年古民家重新赋予生命，改造成为卓越的日式餐宿一体旅馆「Fuku」，完美诠释了传统日本工艺与当代设计理念的和谐融合。这个项目将原建于1930年的历史町屋建筑（原福久屋旅馆）重新构想为由福千代酒造营运的餐饮住宿设施，该酒造正是知名「锅岛」日本酒的制造者。

建筑位于肥前浜宿的核心地带，这里是国家重要传统建筑物保存区，曾在江户时代作为长崎街道的一部分而繁荣兴盛。建筑俯瞰着标志性的酒藏街道，设计巧妙地透过创新的室内照明和空间构成手法，体现了锅岛酒持续对比传统与现代的精神内涵。

项目最引人注目的特色是采用传统工艺技术制作的定制照明装置，这些灯具彷佛随机漂浮在各个楼层间，创造出一种超凡脱俗的氛围，将数百年的工艺传承巧妙连结。这些几何造型的灯具不仅具备功能性，同时也启发了家具设计，透过精心的比例调配和材料选择，为轻盈的造型赋予视觉重量感。

材料选择巧妙地区分了用餐与住宿空间：一楼餐厅以和纸与竹编温柔包覆，营造私密氛围，让客人能够透过吧台欣赏日式庭园，同时品尝怀石料理。相较之下，二楼客房采用现有土墙并涂成戏剧性的黑色，为过夜住宿营造更加沉思的氛围。

这个精湛的改造项目展现了当代介入如何在尊重历史建筑的同时创造全新的空间体验，成就了一个真正体现锅岛哲学——传统与现代永恒对话的目的地。

Project Name: Fuku Auberge

Location: Kashima City, Saga Prefecture, Japan

Design Team: Kengo Kuma & Associates

Total Floor Area: 198.95 m²

Feature: Kengo Kuma & Associates has unveiled the remarkable Fuku Auberge in Kashima City, Saga Prefecture, a transformative project that challenges traditional minka renovation typology through innovative restoration approaches. Located in the heart of Hizen-Hamashuku, a designated Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, this restaurant and accommodation complex for sake brewery Fukuchiyo represents a bold reimagining of historic architecture regeneration.

The building's most distinctive feature lies in its ingenious integration of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design concepts, seamlessly transforming the century-old minka into a contemporary space that embodies the spirit of "Nabeshima" sake. This design strategy directly responds to the site's inherent historical context—through a unified design language that simultaneously respects traditional architectural heritage and meets modern functional requirements, challenging conventional ryokan architectural conventions.

Under the leadership of architect Kengo Kuma, this project exemplifies the firm's commitment to reinterpreting Japanese traditional architectural typology, a typology that carries profound cultural significance and craft traditions. The auberge transcends the limitations of typical accommodation architecture, integrating dining and lodging functions within a unified programmatic framework, creating spaces that serve client needs while promoting cultural experiences.

The interior design creates ethereal visual effects through lighting fixtures crafted using traditional kumiko techniques, these luminaires appear to float randomly throughout each floor, both echoing traditional craftsmanship and embodying contemporary spatial aesthetics—elements that are core to both Nabeshima brand identity and Japanese cultural heritage. This design approach reinforces the building's role as a bridge connecting past and present, tradition and modernity.

The completed 198.95-square-meter auberge marks a pivotal moment in traditional architecture regeneration, while establishing new benchmarks for Japanese historic building preservation and adaptive reuse. The project demonstrates how design can create bold forward-thinking environments while respecting historical context, inspiring the fusion of cultural heritage and innovation.

This architectural achievement positions Fuku Auberge as a catalyst for future cultural tourism development, proving that historic buildings can be both functionally sophisticated and aesthetically captivating.
