In order to provide guests with the concept of the hotel, "Experience Hokkaido," we have created the ultimate local production area with "sustainability" in mind while valuing the culture and ways of thinking that have been cherished in this area. I planned a hotel.

For the exterior, interiors, and structure, we aimed to make full use of materials by not only using building materials such as wood, stone, and soil from Hokkaido, but also creating furniture that makes effective use of building offcuts.
In addition, some of the furniture in the hotel lounge is made in Asahikawa, which is famous as a furniture town, using wood from Hokkaido. We are creating a connection between the hotel and the community from both soft and hard aspects.
The restaurant uses not only Hokkaido-produced ingredients (agricultural products, marine products, dairy products, etc.), but also ingredients that you can see the faces of the producers. We have set up a record player and set up beautiful photographs of various parts of Hokkaido by five photographers as art, so that guests can experience Hokkaido deeply through their five senses.

Whether you're heading to Sapporo or starting from Sapporo, this is a hotel where you can have a one-of-a-kind experience in Sapporo, the gateway to Hokkaido.

The challenge was how to make guests feel how they have come to Hokkaido and how they are staying at Hokkaido's wooden hotel, and how to express it in an easy-to-understand manner.

When concept design the interior, I was always conscious of "what is important?" and selected materials, colors, and shapes so that guests could take home at least one memory.
While creating a symbolic concept design by stripping away anything that is not important for the design that will be conveyed to guests, I was primarily conscious of striking a balance between the two so as not to spoil the comfort of being too stoic.
