kuki Hotel by Makoto Nakayama Silver Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award Winner 2017

kuki Hotel

It covers an area of approximately 3,800 square feet and a large, single-story with wooden roof. The rooms are only 07 rooms in total, they provide the utmost delicacy for each guest. They are small but comfortable spaces to compliment the density and coziness. External atmosphere is moist and the whole inn encourages the healing of the customer as if being on a boat. The boat with it's stone garden, enwraps you in a space that you would not want to step out. Two hours on train from Hakodate Station, the leisurely visit, seems to take all the hardship of life away.

Winner Client

Kuki

Kuki

The name of the work done for the client was Kuki (くき). We gave it a traditional Japanese touch by making it a in shape of a simple square. We used the same characters in Japanese but in right angles. Because the brand has a simply yet elegant philosophy we wanted to simplify it and make it minimal as per requested by the client.
