Curiosity designed the lobby and sky lounge for a luxury tower residence situated in the heart of Tokyo, close to Tokyo station. The area was previously a commercial and cultural hub during the Edo period (the former name for Tokyo) and featured a large residence surrounded by a moat and a river. The interior of the lobby draws inspiration from the surrounding context, with large pieces of stone angled in the way of a traditional Japanese castle wall. The angular form of the ceiling derived from the river creates rhythm and intimacy on a large scale as you move through the space.)

The furniture was also designed to match the space.

The art piece also designed by Curiosity gives translucency and lightness to the space. The pattern is an interpretation of the river water drops.

The curtain was created by Reiko Sudo of Nuno, and reminds of a water fall cascading down the full height of the lobby lounge. A delicate pattern of hand made materials crafted by Japanese artisans completes the ambiance of the space.

The upper floor with a bar-lounge area widely open to the skyline of Tokyo. The back-lit counter is reflected in the ceiling, adding height and drama to the space.

A library and study room completes the guest experience.

The simple palette of colors and subtle textures gives a sense of comfort and refinement to the residence.
