Modernist Tropical Inns

The Pat Inn Offers a Contemporary Minimalist Stay on a Secluded Island

— February 4, 2016 — World
The Pat Inn is a modernist tropical inn structure based out of the secluded Ogasawara Archipelago islands boasting a private getaway with a minimalist experience. The hotel is small and quaint coupled with contemporary design and a focus on exploration of the local exotic area and all it has to offer.

The hotel features a simple exterior architecture with a rectangle concrete facade that is clean, tasteful and free of any artistic styling put together by firm Kichi Architectural Design. However the inside offers a luxuriously traditional Japanese experience with sliding doors, local food on the menu and even a hallway art gallery. The motel offers space for 13 guests in total, further creating a feeling of intimacy and privacy.
Trend Themes
1. Minimalist Getaways - There is an opportunity for creating more modernist and minimalist accommodations for those seeking privacy and intimacy in exotic locations.

3. Architectural Design-driven Hospitality - There is an opportunity to disrupt the hospitality industry by prioritizing the use of aesthetically pleasing architecture and interior design in creating guest experiences.
Industry Implications
