About the Project

Overview This is the departure concourse of the newly constructed international flight facility at Haneda Airport's Terminal 2. The concept of the entire area is "TOKYO AIR," combining the theme of Terminal 2, "sky," and the theme of the commercial facility, "Tokyo." Within this, the gate lounge, which is the waiting area before boarding, was designed to be a place where passengers can spend their time in their own way while feeling the atmosphere of travel.
Issues/Themes To create a space that is suitable as a gateway representing "Tokyo of the future." To express "Japanese sensibility" and "Tokyo sensitivity" within a compact gate lounge.
Space Solution/Realization "Tokyo no Ma" (spaces between Tokyo) are randomly installed for various purposes. The gate lounge is positioned as a "space between passing and staying," and even without partitions, the space is naturally segmented depending on the actions of the users, creating an environment. In order to "re-impress Japan" in the minds of foreign visitors who have stayed in Japan, a message of "omiokuri" (the art of Japanese modern life) is expressed through an objet d'art made by unfolding and reconstructing origami paper, which gives a solid and sophisticated impression.
