About the Project
| Overview | "SKY PLAZA IBASHO" was born on the 47th floor, the top floor of the hotel, offering an outstanding view overlooking Tokyo. Based on the concept of "your place to spend time in your own style and the way you want", the spacious space of about 1,100 square meters is made up of six different zones: "Lounge", "Library", "Garden", "Park", "Multipurpose" and "Hall". It is open to both hotel guests and visitors and is a space that can be used for a variety of occasions, such as co-working for business people, cafe time with a group over coffee, or bar time to soak up the night view and drinks. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | The entire floor was originally a banquet hall, but the plan is to give it a new image as "a space like an observation deck that can be used by both guests and non-guests, taking advantage of the views from the upper floors," and "a space that is not bound by the traditional image of Keio Plaza Hotel, and that will attract younger generations to use, increasing the number of new fans of the hotel." |
| Space Solution/Realization | The design theme was "Sky Plaza - a plaza in the sky" based on the keywords: "A view of Tokyo that can only be enjoyed from a high floor," "A place where you can feel nature, with the sky, greenery, and light, as if you are outdoors, even while indoors," and "A place where guests can spend their time in their own way." The large space of approximately 1,100 square meters is divided into six zones with different usage scenarios, and each zone has seating that can be used in a variety of styles. The entire space is designed to maximize the view and create a sense of openness while highlighting the individuality of each zone, while also maintaining a sense of connection throughout the space. We created a natural, bright, friendly and casual atmosphere that would attract non-guests and younger generations to use the space, Spatial Production a space that truly resembles a plaza. |
| Design for Environment | 3R design: We used strand board made from thinned wood, natural cork, and Paneco, a building material made from recycled clothing. We also used furniture made from recycled plastic. Safety design: The design eliminates corners and makes extensive use of curves. |
