국내 리조트 및 호텔 객실 수공간의 변화와 유형에 관한 연구

Abstract

Recently in Korea, there have been a trend in accommodations that adopted water space as major programs, available for bathing, playful water features, and spa program ranging from the guest room with water space in its interior or exterior space, to the pool villa. It has been common to enclose a bathroom within wet walls due to its equipment, water and moisture proof requirements. Therefore bathing at lodging facility was commonly done within an enclosed space at a guest room or at public bath facility, and water play was usually done with others in a public swimming pool. However, recent cases show that bath function is designed in the form of escaping from its original plan, enclosed within wet walls, and appears as a separate feature within a room or outside of a room or even as a private swimming pool, creating an importance to these programs. Such trend has mostly started to appear in the 2000s and it is a trend that reflects specific changes in guest room designs. In this study, we define water space in a guest room as a space where its purpose is for bathing and water play. We investigate into what differences in leisure environment caused such a change in space making by studying its background and precedent studies and then proceed to understand guest room design trends through analyzing case studies. The purpose of this study is to utilize the survey as basic research data to be further interpreted and be used as a design tool for planning water spaces in guest rooms. This study mainly addresses a location and a type of water spaces based on their purposes in the guest room. However, follow-up researches are expected to be varied with studies such as analysis on materials and details of the water spaces in the guest room, and ways to maximize phenomenological and perceptual experience and its architectural effects on water spaces.
