Earthboat is accommodation designed for people to step away from daily life and spend comfortable time in nature.

The locations where Earthboat is installed include attractive yet sometimes harsh natural environments, including areas where snowfall can reach 2 meters in winter. For this reason, rather than approaching it as simply constructing a building, we began the design process from the perspective of creating outdoor gear that can continue to function in nature. Like well-used tools that stand the test of time, it must be durable, resilient to the environment, and consistently functional. We designed it with the awareness that it would be used repeatedly under severe conditions, ensuring a robust and reliable structure.

At the core of the Earthboat experience is time spent outdoors. The stay is not confined to the interior space alone; instead, the surrounding natural environment is considered part of a single unified space. From outdoor living areas to circulation leading to warming functions such as the sauna, and the interior as a shelter, we aim to create a spatial experience that encourages guests to step outside naturally, without compromising comfort throughout their stay, regardless of season or weather.

To establish this experience as accommodation, functionality alone is not enough; the product itself must also be attractive. It should inspire people to think, 'I want to stay here,' and make them want to share the time with someone special. To evoke such feelings, we believe the space must possess a quiet sensuality and intimacy. For each model, we engaged in deep discussions about what kind of design would realize this vision, and reflected that in the architecture.

Through the format of accommodation, Earthboat aspires to be a product that allows people to truly experience the richness of time spent in nature and the beauty of outdoor living.
