About the Project

Overview This is a salon for the wealthy run by Nishi-Nihon City TT Securities in an office building that will become a new landmark in the Tenjin area of Fukuoka City, Kyushu's leading commercial city. The name of the facility, "SAINO MICRA," comes from the "mikura" storehouse, where treasures are stored, and the fact that guests are seated in the "west" during the tea ceremony, the pinnacle of Japanese hospitality.
Issues/Themes Our goal is to create an elegant and relaxed space that will enable customers to go beyond their everyday lives, deepen their insights and expand their network of interactions, which will also lead to the creation of new branding.
Space Solution/Realization With the theme of "wabi-sabi" + "miyabi," each room is designed to exude a sense of hospitality and elegance, with a Japanese aesthetic. The space is luxuriously appointed and also has functional beauty to accommodate a variety of events. Kyushu's traditional crafts and luxurious materials have been combined to create the ultimate hospitality space.
