About TOKI to TOKI Hotel Tradicional Japonés

TOKI to TOKI en caracteres chinos significa "estación y tiempo" y los diseñadores desean diseñar un lugar para simplemente disfrutar de los cambios de estación mientras el tiempo pasa lentamente. En el vestíbulo, los taburetes se colocaron en espacios intermedios relativamente amplios para apreciar el espacio personal mientras disfruta de la comida y la comunicación. El piso de tatami de forma geométrica y el patrón de luces están inspirados en el río y un sauce frente a este hotel, y crean una atmósfera mágica pero relajante. En la barra, diseñaron el magnífico sofá de forma orgánica con el diseñador textil Jotaro SAITO.

Unique Properties
This traditional Japanese hotel “ryokan” is perfectly located in the central of Kinosaki onsen district near the station. Even though it is newly opened, this ryokan stands beautifully along the river as it had been there for long time. TOKI to TOKI in Chinese characters means “season and time” and we wish that this hotel will be the place for the guests to simply enjoy changes of the season while time passing slowly. The lobby on the first floor is a free space with self-service food space where guests can enjoy the delicious food and communication with other guests. We placed the mushroom-like stools randomly at relatively wide spaces in between in order for guests to cherish the space between them or just to enjoy the time by themselves. The upholstering of the stool is Nishijin textile designed by Jotaro SAITO. The geometrical shape tatami floor was made to order for this project and the pattern on created by the lights is inspired by river surface and shade of a willow tree in front of this building. Together, the tatami floor and the pattern by the lights create magical but relaxing atmosphere.
At the guest rooms, we designed unique bed backboard for each room inspired by the beauty exist in Japanese culture such as mizuhiki decoration, Japanese pine tree, moon and so on.
On the third floor, there is a bar space with the magnificent organic-shaped sofa. For the design of this sofa, we collaborated with textile designer Jotaro SAITO. By lavishly using his Nishijin textile like patchwork quilt to create the high-backed sofa, the bar becomes unforgettably and beautifully powerful.

Inspiration
The design concept was “miyabi” which means Japanese elegance. It seems loud but there is a refined sense embedded in the design. As we design, we came to understand “miyabi” we want to express in our design is the pomp and the fine quality that can elevate our mind.
Project Duration
The project started in August 1, 2019 and finished in December 29, 2019 in Kinosaki, Hyogo.
