A Flexible Year-Round Architectural Gem

Renowned as a world-class winter ski #resort, Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono showcases architectural brilliance, where form meets function. Opened in early 2020 in Hokkaido’s opulent southwestern Niseko area, it offers an array of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and river rafting.

A contemporary chapel at the resort’s core is a testament to the fusion of #Japanese aesthetics and the cyclical beauty of nature, captivating the senses while offering a unique experience for guests. Its "floating grand roof" appears to hover above a serene garden pond, blurring the indoor-outdoor boundary. The flexible #design includes a pond with an adjustable water level, allowing for additional seating space for events. The chapel's versatility extends beyond spiritual gatherings, and can be transformed into a private dining area, a seminar space, or a concert venue. Meticulously detailed traditional sliding doors amplify the facility’s #flexibility by facilitating a seamless transition to the outdoor stage area. The lighting scheme also harmonizes with natural light variations, and can be tuned to enhance the atmosphere, aligning with the climate, season, and time of day.
