Bourou Noguchi Noboribetsu
Hot Spring Resort Japan
Design: Nakayama Architects
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.
