Three Roofs Timber Hall Hotels

TORU TERAOKA

Hospitality, Recreation, Travel and Tourism Design Three Roofs Timber Hall Hotels by TORU TERAOKA Set within the forests of Karuizawa, this hall is conceived as a place where architecture, nature, and community intersect. Developed over nearly a decade through collaboration between client, builder, and architect, it forms part of an evolving landscape with dog friendly facilities. The building serves as a communal lounge and indoor training space. When large openings are opened, the interior aligns with the forest, allowing landscape to flow through. A layered roof brings soft daylight, creating a calm atmosphere. Simple timber construction shows how modest means integrate with nature.
