Bourou Noguchi Noboribetsu Hotel : Architecture Information
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. guest rooms Noboribetsu Onsen Hotel Japan images / text from Office of Nakayama Architects Aug 2008 lobby restaurant Nakayama Architects Japanese Architecture World Architecture : e-architect - a guide to key buildings across the globe Tokyo Buildings Japanese Architect Tokyo House Comments / photos for the Japanese Hotel Architecture pages welcome: info@e-architect.co.uk Bouru Noguchi Noboribetsu Building : page - adrian welch / isabelle lomholt			Buildings by this architect: n/a Key Links: Skyscrapers Architecture Studios Contemporary Interiors New Houses Japanese Buildings
