Overview | One of the official hotels of Tokyo Disney Resort®. This is a renovation project accompanying the rebranding to "Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama", and the first phase of the renovation involved renovating the atrium lobby, upper floor guest rooms, restaurants, banquet halls, and more. A chapel was newly built in the atrium lobby, and the restaurant renovated the buffet counter and added a kids buffet and seating zone. A sky banquet and a club lounge exclusively for guests were newly built on the special floors on the upper floors. |

Issues/Themes | Our main target audience was families and groups visiting Tokyo Disney Resort®, and we aimed to create a space that would make guests feel happy and excited, and an extraordinary feeling. We also aimed to create a chapel in the atrium lobby that would harmonize with the atrium space, which is one of the largest in Japan. |
Space Solution/Realization | Taking advantage of the sea-facing location and the natural surroundings of the atrium lobby, the overall design concept for the renovation was "the Paradise." The atrium lobby has a theme of "the Garden," Spatial Production a space filled with light, greenery, and water. The gazebo, a multipurpose space in the center of the lobby, and the atrium chapel have become new symbols of the lobby. The chapel is a symbolic space surrounded by light and greenery while creating a sense of openness with wooden arches, emanating a presence that matches the scale of the lobby. The guest rooms on the upper floors have a theme of "the Sky," Spatial Production a colorful and fun space that evokes the gradations of the sunrise and sunset sky as seen from the guest rooms. |
