Japan is the country which importing most of building material. Architectural market price is however far away from international market, because of addition of Japanese expensive labor cost. The only way to solve this problem is to import accomplished building, not building material. Bayside Marina Hotel is making use of format of shipping containers in order to transport guest rooms in cottage type. As long as keeping the container forma, transportation cost is getting almost nothing. We realized irresistible cost down and short of construction period by accomplishing both interior and exterior at the factory in Thailand and transporting units with directly loaded to container ship to Japan to load units at the site.

 

日本は建材の輸入国です。しかし工員の高い賃金が加算されるため、建築の流通価格は国際的な水準とかけはなれています。これを是正する唯一の方法は、建材ではなく完成した建築物を輸入することです。ベイサイドマリーナでは、コテージ型の客室を輸送するために海運コンテナのフォーマットを流用しました。コンテナ・フォーマットに則っていれば輸送コストは限りなくゼロに近づきます。タイで内外装を仕上げたユニットをコンテナ船に直接積載して日本まで運び、現場で積み上げて、圧倒的な低価格化と短工期化を実現しました
