Interesting facts
Located on Cape Sivuchya on the southern coast of Sakhalin, it has witnessed the passing of eras and decades of neglect. Built in 1939 by Japanese engineers, the lighthouse became a unique structure capable of operating in harsh climates and strong ocean currents. Its bright light was powered by a unique Fresnel lens. Later, the lighthouse was converted to radioisotope generators, making it fully autonomous.
Inside, there were nine floors: living quarters for the keepers, a diesel generator room, battery rooms, and fuel storage. After World War II, the lighthouse was transferred to the USSR, but with its collapse, it was abandoned and looted. All that remains of this once complex engineering structure are concrete walls, staircases, and traces of machinery.

Concept
Sakhalin is a place of amazing natural beauty, where travelers from all over the world aspire to go. Aniva Lighthouse is the island's calling card and a place of attraction for tourists.
We propose to restore the unique heritage monument and create in it a museum boutique hotel, which has no analogues in the world. Hotel - will create conditions for comfortable stay of guests and monetization of the project.Museum - will pay tribute to the heritage and history.

Planning solutions
Miura Shinobu departed from standards and drew not one ring (the usual cross-section of a lighthouse shape), but two, and circled them into an "ellipse", which became the base of the unique object. We take this cultural code as a basis and continue it in architecture and planning solutions.
