‘A wooden 4-story Onsen (Hot Spring) Hotel stands at the bottom of a valley in a region of snow. The existing façade was renovated utilizing wood from the original 100 year old hotel while the interior space was reorganized by inserting an atrium. This atrium is surrounded by a delicate screen made from 4mm wide slits of bamboo (Sumushiko).’
Japanese architecture at its finest form!
