An ultra-luxurious residential development is part of a mixed-use fifty-story tower in the Dojima area of Osaka. Amenities include an entrance lobby with an art gallery, a boardroom with event space, a gym, a sky lobby with a bar, and two multifunctional communal areas, along with two outdoor areas. Studio Piet Boon is responsible for the interior design of all public spaces, the interior design of the diplomatic headquarters and its amenities, as well as the interior design of a show apartment, which was completed in 2021.
The entrance lobby for the residence, which looks like an art gallery, forms an artistic passage to the various floors. Heavier materials have been used on the ground floor, creating an earthy atmosphere. As one ascends higher in the building, the environment feels increasingly airy due to a lighter color palette – like a walk through the clouds.
The leading concept of the entire building is ‘travel’, inspired by Osaka’s character as a port city. Natural elements reflect this identity: the route through the lobby flows organically like a river – with natural, organic shapes – and is enriched with carefully selected art by Japanese and international artists, curated by Fumio Nanj.
The building becomes richer with each floor, with the highest floors featuring a common area with a rooftop terrace. Two banquet halls, a fitness room, and a meeting room are also available for residents.
Studio Piet Boon collaborated on this project with architecture firm Nikken Sekkei, responsible for the exterior that reflects the maritime concept.
