Japanese architect Kengo Kuma has completed the façade and interior design of a 10-storey hotel near Tokyo’s Skytree Observation Tower. conceived as an ‘art exhibit’, ONE@tokyo is located in Oshiage — an area which combines the historic feeling of the country’s Edo era with a lively sense of Tokyo’s modern metropolis. at ground level, Kuma and his team have installed a dynamic lattice of timber planks that refers to the factories found in the region’s downtown district.
Fascinating design! Tokyo hotel as art installation.
