Creation
Aoyama flair
Tokyo – Japon, 2018
In the center of Tokyo, this new tower houses a high-end residential program. For this building that pays homage to elegance, style, and fluidity, an iconic object was needed to identify and characterize it. Our studio proposed a monumental glass wall that unfolds like a textile.
Installed from the entrance lobby up to the first floor, this partition creates a diaphanous veil that runs through the building. During the day, this piece greets visitors in an enigmatic manner. At night, illuminated by spotlights, it reinterprets the architecture and reveals new perspectives.
