Location: Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture

Concept:
 This project is the reconstruction of the hotel which had been damaged by the tsunami. The entire entrance wall utilizes COR-TEN steel. Its attractiveness is enhanced by reflected lighting.

Style:
 COR-TEN steel : t=4.5mm  
 Surface finishing: air sand blasted
                         without coating  

Features:
 COR-TEN steel has superior weather resistance and there is no necessity to coat to prevent corrosion. It provides for easy maintenance. The entrance to the hotel is surrounded by COR-TEN steel with subtly positioned lighting. The COR-TEN steel colour will change with time. This timeless material conveys a significant message to the next generation.
