・Creative opportunities for U-40 architects and creators
There are many wonderful architects and creators in the world, regardless of age or experience. However, the reality is that even if you have great ideas, the opportunities to actually bring your work to the world are limited. This competition targets architects and creators under the age of 40 and aims to have their new ideas realized and sold as NOT A HOTEL’s next project. We look forward to seeing the talents of young architects and creators shine through this
competition and creating new architecture.
・To realize architecture by diverse creators
In general, in order to work on architecture, one is required to have an architect’s qualification, and in order to take the qualification examination, an academic background related to architecture is required, and as a result, many creators are unable to participate in the field of architecture. NOT A HOTEL is based on an organizational structure with an in-house architect, and has collaborated with creators from a variety of fields, including interior designer Masamichi Katayama of Wonderwall(R) and fashion designer Yosuke Aizawa of White Mountaineering. We have worked hard to expand new
possibilities in architecture. We would like to invite creators from all over the world with great ideas to participate in this
competition, regardless of their qualifications as architects, and to contribute to the development of the architecture industry.
You design the next NOT A HOTEL. “NOT A HOTEL DESIGN COMPETITION 2024” overview The stage of the competition is the Kita Karuizawa area where “NOT A HOTEL KITAKARUIZAWA” is located. 95 minutes away from the city center, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in a 20,000 tsubo forest spread out at the foot of Mt. Asama, there are the NOT A HOTEL KITAKARUIZAWA “BASE”, which has already opened, and “IRORI”, which is currently under construction. This time, we are looking for ideas for architecture that can be used as a NOT A HOTEL (home/villa/hotel) in Kita Karuizawa.

Masamichi Katayama
“I believe in the energy of creation that begins with the word “NOT”.In today’s world, where traditional values are being shattered, the time has come to reexamine the next era from a higher level perspective and question the way things and things should be. Just as the avant-garde art movement Dadaism once advocated the statement “NO” and denied and destroyed the established order and common sense, this competition aims to create new values in space/time/environment/technology and the way humans live. I hope it will bring.”
Head of Sou Fujimoto Architectural Design Office Co., Ltd.
Sosuke Fujimoto
“I think the beauty of NOT A HOTEL is that it surprisingly connects the charm of the location and the sensibilities of the people.When you go to that place, the resolution of your senses increases
overwhelmingly, and the time you spend there changes. It feels different from everyday life.And above all, we are looking for an essential architecture that is overwhelmingly new, yet timeless, and has value over time.We look forward to surprising proposals that can only be born from young sensibilities. doing.”

Makoto Tanijiri
“When we were young, we would challenge competitions every day, and whenever we lost, we would reflect on ourselves.It was like muscle training, we constantly put stress on ourselves, and we believed that doing so would improve our design abilities. Then, when my son was born, one of the things I told him was that not trying is itself a failure.Continuing to take on challenges in life is a very important skill for architects. We’re thinking about it. We’re looking forward to seeing your ideas that we can’t even imagine.”
Co-director of SUPPOSE DESIGN OFFICE Co., Ltd.
Ai Yoshida
This is a competition that overturns the premise that “architectures cannot be built with ideas alone,” and is open to all regardless of qualifications or achievements, so we look forward to seeing ideas and ideas that are created and shaped from diverse perspectives, without being constrained by architectural requirements or conditions. I think that I want to do it. Architecture that makes you want to realize something more than something that can be realized, such as an experience typical of a new platform called NOT A HOTEL, and proposals for spatiality that affects the body and emotions! I look forward to encountering such works. ”
