About the Project
| Overview | To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Shinhotaka Ropeway's opening, the gondolas have been renewed, and the Shirakabadaira Station building and facility logo have also been renewed. With the theme of "Shinhotaka GRAND VUE," we aimed to create a high-quality and special experience of the various attractions (sceneries) brought by the nature of Shinhotaka. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | Creating a seamless relationship between indoors and outdoors that makes use of the beautiful scenery in the neighborhood. By replanning the gondola exit route, we hope to allow more customers to enjoy the beautiful scenery. |
| Space Solution/Realization | The design concept was "Seamless design," with an emphasis on making customers feel closer to the surrounding nature by eliminating the boundary between the nature and the building. Focusing on the "Alps Bakery" that has long been loved by customers, we aimed for a synergistic effect between the scenery and food and drink, with the theme of "A bakery where you can enjoy the scenery." By utilizing the disembarking traffic flow to display the scenery and planning smooth traffic flow to the sales floor, we created a "lounge where you can experience the beauty of the scenery anew." |
| Design for Environment | Universal design: We took into consideration people of all ages when planning the station, including making it barrier-free, selecting flooring materials with consideration for differences in brightness, planning lighting that takes brightness into account, and setting up fixtures that are easy to use for wheelchair users and the elderly. |
