Creating a lounge that will become the face of the hotel through a comprehensive review of the facility
Photo: Nacása & Partners Inc.
Overview | The SHIROYAMA HOTEL Kagoshima, blessed with the rich nature of Shiroyama, Kagoshima and a magnificent view of Kinko Bay and Sakurajima, was renovated to coincide with its 70th anniversary. We envisioned what the No. 1 hotel in the area should be like and proposed how the entire facility should be to improve the hotel's brand. We were then in charge of the renovation design and construction of The Lounge Casablanca on the main lobby floor and the garden area. |

Issues/Themes | The hotel's vast grounds are dotted with a variety of scenes and functions, each with its own unique challenges. While highlighting the role and appeal of each area, we aimed to enhance the hotel's overall experience and identity from the perspective of overall branding. |
Space Solution/Realization | Rather than treating each area as a separate renovation, we shared the issues with the hotel's business strategy department and collaborated at the business planning level. Furthermore, we conducted our own qualitative research to identify customer needs and current issues before moving on to the design. For "The Lounge Casablanca," we proposed renovating it into a public core in response to the issue of a lobby lounge not being adequately equipped given the hotel's size. We created a lounge space that expresses hospitality, allowing guests to fully enjoy the charms of Shiroyama. The wine bar provides a place that meets the highly sensitive urban needs of the next generation. In addition, in the garden area, in response to the issue of strengthening bridal services in light of competition, we focused on further enhancing the hotel's appeal by creating a scene that combines the Sakurajima view, garden, and terrace. |
Design for Environment | From the perspective of universal design, a ramp has been installed at the entrance step and the store interior is designed to be step-free. |
