In order to provide guests with the hotel's concept of "experiencing Hokkaido," we planned the ultimate locally produced hotel with sustainability in mind while cherishing the culture and ideas that have been cherished in this area. In addition to using wood, stone, and soil from Hokkaido as building materials for the exterior, interiors, and structure, we aimed to use all materials to the fullest, such as making furniture that effectively utilizes building material scraps. In addition, some of the furniture in the hotel lounge is made in Asahikawa, a famous furniture town, using wood from Hokkaido, and the regular market event is held in collaboration with local producers, creating a connection between the hotel and the local area in various ways, both in terms of soft and hard aspects. In addition to using ingredients from Hokkaido (agricultural products, marine products, dairy products, etc.), the restaurant uses ingredients that allow you to see the faces of the producers, and the guest rooms are equipped with wooden speakers and record players associated with the jazz city of Sapporo, and beautiful photos of various parts of Hokkaido by five photographers are displayed as art, weaving in mechanisms that allow guests to deeply experience Hokkaido through their five senses. For those whose destination is Sapporo and those whose starting point is Sapporo, this hotel offers a one-of-a-kind experience that can only be found in Sapporo, the gateway to Hokkaido.

This project is an upcycling activity that complements and displays "scrap" generated from building materials and interiors materials as "furniture," reuses them as recycled materials, and gives back to the earth. According to the Ministry of the Environment, the amount of industrial waste generated in Japan in fiscal year 2020 is 373.82 million tons* per year, and nearly 1 million tons of scrap is generated per day. We, the creators who come into contact with various materials in our concept design work every day, felt that it was our responsibility to take the lead in spreading the message of recycling the earth's limited resources to society and the local community. We formed a team of young creators within the company to plan and manage the project as a social contribution activity. We enclosed and complemented the shredded waste materials in a transparent skin made of recycled vinyl as furniture, and displays to appeal to the message with an art displays-like expression, and toured offices and public spaces both in Japan and overseas. After a certain period of displays, the materials will be returned to interiors and construction site as interiors resources, and the next waste material will be enclosed, supplemented, and displays in a traveling sustainability project. In order to reach as many people as possible, a launch displays was held in the entrance space of the company's office to solicit sponsoring companies, and it has received support from many sponsoring companies, local people, and educational institutions. The exhibition is based on an interiors concept that allows anyone to intuitively grasp the message, by allowing people to "see, learn about, and touch" "interior waste materials" that are not seen in everyday life, and to displays as a "trigger" for thinking about a better future and a sustainable society. *Source: Ministry of the Environment, "Total Emissions in 2020"

In order to do so, we combined vehicles with historical backgrounds to create displays structure that allows visitors to walk around and get a bird's-eye view of the changes that have taken place. The main zone in particular was impressively presented with a immersive theater-style displays that included video and audio.
