About the Project

Overview The Rihga Royal Hotel (Osaka) has over 900 guest rooms, a chapel, banquet halls, etc., and is also known as the "Guest House of Osaka" for its tradition and formality. As part of a plan to revitalize the hotel facilities while incorporating the changing times, we were in charge of planning to increase the number of guest rooms in the Tower Wing and West Wing, as well as renovating the Narisa Chapel.
Issues/Themes 1) To create a chapel that incorporates Video content in order to expand customer base among younger generations.
② In order to capture the rapidly increasing demand for guest rooms due to inbound tourism, warehouses scattered across multiple floors will be converted into guest rooms.
Space Solution/Realization 1. Producing Video content that makes full use of projection mapping. With the goal of realizing an "haute couture wedding," we are able to meet a variety of needs by preparing multiple Video according to the tastes and preferences of our customers and allowing them to be updated at any time. In addition, we have created a space that exudes the dignity of a long-established establishment with an interior that simply expresses the softness of a veil. Our chapel, which can freely respond to the requests of our users, has achieved a significant increase in the success rate.
②In order to convert the warehouses scattered across multiple floors into guest rooms, we promoted the design of each floor to match the taste of the surrounding guest rooms. At the same time, we minimized the number of rooms that were closed and the period for which they were closed by devising a construction schedule.
