Zaha Hadid Architects, in partnership with Kume Sekkei, will design the debut vertex hotel for NOT A HOTEL on a coastal site in Okinawa, carefully embedding it into the natural surroundings. The building is elevated to reduce impact on the beach and ocean ecosystems, preserving the existing terrain. Its form follows local limestone features and dense forest through terraced levels, courtyards, and planted areas that mimic the landscape.
