Hotel Pat Inn is a minimalist building located in Chichi-jima, Japan, designed by Kichi Architectural Design. This inn is located on Chichi-jima, which is part of the Ogasawara archipelago located in the Pacific Ocean approximately 1000 km south of Tokyo. As such, there are many species of flora and fauna unique to Ogasawara that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. In 2011, Ogasawara was listed as a World Heritage Site. The current day owner of the inn is the great-great-grandson of Nathaniel Savory. The hotel’s location is historically significant as the place where Nathaniel Savory built the first man-made dwelling ever to be built on the Ogasawara Islands. The façade is a simple, neat design which acts as a canvass to the main attraction of the surrounding nature. Like the façade, the inn’s interior also adopts a simple design, using a basic tone of white and combining the natural colors of the mortar and base materials in order to reflect the laidback feel of the archipelago.
