白井屋旅馆的历史可追溯至江户时代的群马县，至今已有约 300 年的历史。酒店于2008年关闭，后在2020年12月经藤本壮介设计后重新开业，并更名为白井屋酒店。

Shiroiya Ryokan was established in Maebashi, Gunma Prefecture during the Edo period and closed in 2008, despite having a history of about 300 years. It was reopened in December 2020 as SHIROIYA HOTEL which was designed by the architect Sou Fujimoto.

新酒店由两栋建筑组成，分别是由旧白井屋旅馆改造而来的“传统楼”（Heritage Tower），以及从利根川河岸汲取灵感而新建的“绿塔”（Green Tower）。本项目中，Blue Bottle咖啡的新店就建造在绿塔内的洞穴空间中。

The new hotel consists of two buildings; the Heritage Tower, a drastic renovation of the former Shiroiya building, and the Green Tower, a newly constructed building inspired by the banks of the old Tone River. The new Blue Bottle Coffee was designed inside a cave-like space within the Green Tower.

设计团队运用多种策略，旨在增加洞穴空间的舒适感。他们在北立面设置了一扇大型推拉门，以保证室内能够最大限度地获取采光。此外，遵循Blue Bottle咖啡店的一贯设计，吧台设置在显眼位置，从室外就清晰可见。虽然空间相对较小，但设计团队还是采用了沙发长椅作为主要的座位类型，营造出可以随意就坐的公园环境。中间舒适的大沙发可适应不同年龄段的顾客，不论小孩、家长还是老人都将感到宾至如归。

We wanted to utilize the coziness of being inside a cave-like space as well as maximize the limited light we can bring in by situating a large sliding door on the north façade. Additionally in order to respect precedent designs of Blue Bottle Coffee cafes, we situated the bar counter in a prominent location so that it can be viewed from outside. Although it is a relatively small space, we tried to create a park-like environment where one can casually sit by providing sofa benches as the main type of seating. In particular, we ensured that the large sofa located in the middle would be comfortable for customers of all ages, from small children, parents to elderly, so that the space would feel welcoming to everyone.

为了引入当地特色的设计元素，地板中使用了包括白井屋酒店在内的许多历史建筑中的砖块，吧台材质则凸显了地方匠人对色彩与砖的考虑。为了呼应砖块与柜台，设计团队选用微光铜作为照明设备与家具的材质。

In order to bring in local design elements, bricks which are found in many historical buildings in Maebashi, as well as the SHIROIYA HOTEL were used for the floors, and the bar counter was finished by a local plasterer considering the relationship with the color of the bricks. Responding to the textures of the bricks and the counters, we chose copper with a slight shimmer for the lighting fixtures and furniture, paper cords for the entrance handles, and upholstery for the sofas which are collection of materials that are tactile and felt by touch.

此外，入口处以纸绳制作了把手，沙发内衬也选用了质感丰富的材料。与Blue Bottle咖啡涩谷店类似，本项目中Karimoku Furniture也参与设计了一系列家具。

Similar to the Blue Bottle Coffee Shibuya café, we have designed the furnitures specifically for this café in collaboration with Karimoku Furniture.

作为白井屋酒店艺术展的延续，咖啡厅中展出了当地艺术家Yoshio Shirakawa的新作。Yoshio Shirakawa是日本最早通过艺术表达与当地社区关系的艺术家之一。新作品“赤城龙身”以前桥历史为灵感，描绘出文化滋养社区发展的历程。

As a continuation of artworks that have already been exhibited at the SHIROIYA HOTEL, local artist Yoshio Shirakawa’s new piece was chosen to be displayed at the café as well. Shirakawa has been one of the first artists in Japan to express relationships with the local community through art. His new piece titled `Akagiyama Dragon Body` is inspired by the history of Maebashi, depicting how nurturing the culture transforms the region into a new form.
