Amano
Although large in capacity, the space has been designed as a sequence of spaces that feel intimate. There is great variety of experience within one single room, with the use and feel of the space adapting as the day changes. The project demonstrates a high level of craft and care.
A limited palette of natural materials is expressed in different ways throughout the interior. Some inventive assemblies include the back-lit mother of pearl counters, and the terrazzo floor inlaid with scraps of beautiful broken stone slabs.
