About the Project
| Overview | Dai-Ichi Takimotokan is a long-established inn with a long history in Hokkaido, and is part of the history of the Noboribetsu hot spring resort itself. It is a large inn with a large public bath boasting an area of 5,000m2 overlooking Jigokudani, and multiple guest rooms in the main building, west building, east building, and south building. This time, in conjunction with a large-scale renovation, we were in charge of the interior design for the renovation of the lobby and south guest room building. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | To emphasize the unique features of a ryokan located in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido. To renovate the guest rooms from traditional Japanese-style to Western-style in order to meet the diverse needs of guests. To improve inbound customer service, such as by establishing a new lounge exclusively for group tours from overseas. |
| Space Solution/Realization | The lobby features art walls, pillars and carpets that evoke the image of Jigokudani, expressing the essence of Noboribetsu Onsen. The guest rooms in the South Wing are surrounded by lush green mountains, so the theme is "Awaken in the forest." Although the rooms are Western-style, Japanese elements have been incorporated, such as shoji screens and a veranda space, to give the hotel a Japanese feel. Additionally, the birch trees, a symbol of Hokkaido, are used in the artwork and lighting design. In the group lounge, the mosaic art depicting the demons of Jigokudani has been left as is, making it the symbol of the space. |
| Design for Environment | In the lobby, we made use of the existing ceiling grid, and in the group lounge, we made use of the existing demon mosaic art. |
