About the Project

Overview Renovation of the employee offices at Karuizawa Prince Hotel West.
The back-of-house (BOH) area for employees, which was located separately on the premises, has been relocated to the former restaurant area in the hotel building.
In response to issues such as communication and productivity that arose from the office being separated from the hotel building, we interviewed the general manager and held workshops with the hotel staff, and took a different approach to planning, planning, and designing the new office.
Issues/Themes Improving employee engagement through such things as "being able to work with a sense of fulfillment," "having a work environment where you can speak your mind," and "your work is highly evaluated."
To create an office that allows employees to work with a clear distinction between time spent concentrating on work and time spent relaxing, leading to improved work productivity.
Space Solution/Realization The office was renovated after listening to the opinions of actual employees in workshops, creating a space that encourages communication. By adopting a free address office with no walls, communication between departments has improved, and meetings can now be held on the spot to discuss customer meal plans and reservations, reducing various operational waste and time costs that were previously difficult to see. This has improved work productivity.
We also installed a cafeteria with plenty of natural light, where employees can relax and change their mood, to create a more comfortable working environment. After-workshops showed an improvement in employee satisfaction and awareness of the workplace.
Design for Environment As the facility operates 24 hours a day, we have adopted a natural light and lighting plan that takes circadian rhythms into consideration.
Additionally, the biophilic design, with a high greenery view rate, aims to reduce fatigue and improve comfort, creating a sense of relaxation and helping to improve concentration.
