A new footbridge forms a subtle link and between the two complexes a new path meanders through the lush forest. And like ina fairy tale, halfway there is a wood clearing with a contemporary cottage: PokoPoko. Like an icon, from afar 3 roof conespoke out lightheartedly in different directions from the top of the trees. And this is where the building get’s it name from as‘poko poko’ means to stick-out or stick-up in Japanese.

The newly built PokoPoko is a family oriented clubhouse and activity centre for the guests of the hotel. Each roof cone has itsown function.
Tokyo-based Klein Dytham Architecture has designed PokoPoko as a clubhouse and activity centre surrounded by forest for the Risonare Nasu hotel in rural Japan.
Built near the town of Nasu in the shadow of the Mount Nasu volcanoes, the clubhouse is set within a forest clearing between the hotel s two existing accommodation blocks.
The PokoPoko clubhouse is part of the Risonare Nasu hotel The concept of the project was to create a fairytale building in a clearing of the forest, said Klein Dytham Architecture co-founder Mark Dytham. We wanted the building to peek out between the trees and become an icon in the forest, as well as a landmark for the hotel when seen from the road that leads up to it, he told Dezeen.
