Contemporary Japanese Hotel Design by Nakayama Architects
Bourou Noguchi Noboribetsu
This is a renovation project of a large hotel constructed at Noboribetsu
Onsen, a famous hot spring resort in Japan.
approach

In the 6600sqm of space from the basement to 10th floor, there used
to be 130 guestrooms altogether. We have tried creating the new hotel
as simple as possible such as enlarging each room and reducing their
numbers to 40 and dismantling various types of rooms.
bar

The main theme of this project was to cast aside the dull image a
typical large hotel usually have.
cafe

My ideas were to scale down the size of the architecture as much as
possible so that the hotel dimension fits the physical dimensions
of its users, creatively use both high and low ceilings, segment the
entire building, create each space inside so that they are in sequence,
and place wide and narrow spaces alternately.
display space

These effects will call forth deep emotions and drama of spaces in
the minds of hotel guests.
