具有独特的色调和香气的扁柏木材是SSH No.03建筑上的设计特色。西泽特意从岐阜县采购上等日本扁柏，并广泛应用于度假酒店的建筑结构和室内设计上，其中包括固定家具，令宾客一踏进客房便可感受到令人惊叹的简朴视觉冲击。扁柏在日本文化中是一种“神圣”的木材，以耐用且散发芳香气味而著称，数百年来一直用以建造神社、寺庙和宫殿。此外，在建造SSH No.03的过程中，酒店主要采购日本木材以降低碳足迹，秉持可持续发展的高标准。

KARUIZAWA, JAPAN, 19 May 2023 – Shishi-Iwa House announces the opening of SSH No.03, the latest in its collection of intimately crafted architectural masterpieces situated in Japan’s popular Karuizawa mountain resort town just an hour by train from Tokyo. Designed by Pritzker Prize laureate and co-founder of SANAA Ryue Nishizawa, SSH No.03 is a mountain nature retreat for families and friends to spend quiet time together without the interruption of urban life and to inspire the regeneration of intellectual creativity. The retreat is Nishizawa’s first hotel project and pays homage to century-old traditional Japanese residential architecture.

由另一位荣获普利兹克建筑奖的日本建筑师坂茂所设计的SSH No.01及SSH No.02分别于2018年和2022年开幕，而新开幕的SSH No.03则是Shishi-Iwa House的第三组建筑。这三组建筑相距约数分钟的步行路程，结合成为SHISHI-IWA HOUSE KARUIZAWA，并包含宾客共享的公共设施。入住这三座建筑的宾客拥有难得的机遇，可一次欣赏到不同建筑大师的建筑风格。而为促进建筑与自然的和谐共存，所有的建筑设计均旨在将宾客与自然环境联系起来，并同时歌颂大自然的纯粹简朴。

SSH No.03 follows SSH No.01 and SSH No.02, opened in 2018 and in 2022, respectively, and designed by another Pritzker Prize laureate Shigeru Ban. All three Houses, each situated mere minutes on foot from the other, collectively form SHISHI-IWA HOUSE KARUIZAWA with guests sharing all common facilities. The three Houses present a unique opportunity for guests to compare different architecture styles by these master architects. Promoting the harmonious coexistence of architecture and nature, all Houses are designed to connect the guests to their natural surroundings while celebrating simplicity in its purest form.

SSH No.03由10个楼阁组成，并以一系列engawa（有盖走廊）和花园庭院相互贯穿。酒店仅提供10间客房和一间小屋别墅，包括高级客房（西式）和榻榻米套房。西泽着重空间的通透感，并以日本空间概念“间”（Ma）为设计灵感，特意地摆设最少的家具和装饰以创造极致简约的空间，让自然光线毫无阻碍地从房间窗户透射进来并填满整个空间。酒店内所有客房均为独立设计，四面墙壁皆设有窗户，让宾客完全融入四周的森林和日式庭院当中。所有客房更配备有盖露台，由室内无缝地延伸至室外。

SSH No.03 is comprised of 10 pavilions interconnected by a series of engawa (covered walkways) and garden courtyards. The retreat is exclusive with only 10 guest rooms and 1 cabin villa offering both Superior Rooms (western style) and Tatami Suites. Inspired by spacial transparency as well as Ma, the Japanese concept of negative space, Nishizawa deliberately creates empty areas through minimal furnishings and embellishments, allowing natural light to stream continuously through the rooms’ windows. All guest rooms are stand-alone units with open windows on all four walls, affording the guests with unparalleled connection with the surrounding forest and internal Japanese gardens. All units also come with a wrapped terrace, extending seamlessly the boundaries from the inside to the outside.

日本轻井泽，2023年5月19日 – Shishi-Iwa House宣布SSH No.03开幕。精心打造的最新建筑杰作位于日本著名的轻井泽山区度假小镇，距离东京仅一小时火车车程。SSH No.03由普利兹克建筑奖得主兼日本建筑事务所SANAA联合创始人西泽立卫设计，旨在打造一个山区自然度假酒店，供宾客与家人朋友享受恬静的时光，暂时远离城市生活的繁琐，并启发新思维和创造力。度假酒店乃西泽首个酒店设计元素，向拥有百年历史的日本传统住宅建筑致敬。

The revered hinoki cypress wood features prominently throughout SSH No.03. Sourcing the Japanese hinoki from Gifu Prefecture, Nishizawa deploys the distinctive shade and fragrance of the rare wood to both the structure and the interiors of the retreat, including fixed furnishings, resulting in a breathtakingly austere visual impact upon entering the room. Hinoki cypress is considered a “sacred” wood in Japan as it has been used for centuries to build shrines, temples and palaces given its durability and aromatic scents. In the practice of building SSH No.03, high standards for sustainability are carefully maintained through a small building footprint, using carbon-friendly timber sourced primarily in Japan.

engawa走廊蜿蜒贯穿各个楼阁，成为沉思和冥想的空间，这也是建筑师最喜爱的设计特色。酒店的一花一木经过悉心的栽种，包括数百棵樱桃树、枫树和常绿乔木，旨在一年四季呈现朝飞暮卷的色彩。沿着走廊而建的四个日式庭院清幽静谧，务必让宾客踏上一段静思默想的旅程，并与自然合而为一。

A favorite feature of the architect himself, the winding engawa walkway that intersects the pavilions offers in-between spaces that allow for discovery and contemplation. The landscape is carefully constructed with more than a hundred cherry, maple and evergreen trees planted to provide an ever-changing display of colorful foliage in all seasons. Four Japanese courtyards plotted along the walkway are designed to create moments of stillness, completing a spiritual journey in which guests become one with nature – and with themselves.

酒店的澡堂和茶馆亦与建筑师所设想的“间”相辅相成。为了让宾客体验深层次的养生之道，SSH No.03计划提供精心设计的按摩、瑜伽和冥想体验。SSH No.03位于宁静的国家野生鸟类保护区Karuizawa Yacho no Mori内，在近100公顷茂密森林的怀抱下，自然而然地为宾客提供焕发活力的体验，享受森林沐浴和特殊的健步旅程，包括瀑布步道、艺术及建筑之旅和农场游览等。

A bathhouse and tea house also serve to complement the Ma experience envisioned by the architect. Deepening the mental wellness experience, SSH No.03 plans to offer carefully designed massage, yoga, and meditation sessions. SSH No.03’s location within the serene Karuizawa Yacho no Mori, the National Wild Bird Sanctuary, in the embrace of almost 100 hectares of lush forest, naturally expands moments of rejuvenation, with forest bathing and special walking tours such as a waterfall trail, art and architecture tours, and farm excursions.
