JAL FIRST CLASS LOUNGE is located on the fourth floor of
TOKYO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. As a result of last year’s
remodeling, the long got 3.8 times larger floor had 2.8 times more
seats.
Characteristic area of this project is so-called RED SUITE where
there are library, gallery, playroom and a bar. The theme of this
lounge is “Japanese aesthetic” and “experiencing room to room”,
each area connects flexibly like a room in a Japanese house.
Some parts are based upon modern Japanese style with
decorative part pieces on aviation motifs.

Renovated from an old office building, THE WORKS is a multifunctional
facility fusing office, restaurant, and community lounge.
It is based upon a concept of Tokyo’s informative and trendy play
ground for adults and the all the floors. The dining cafe on the
ground floor and the community lounge on the second floor
remind us of Brooklyn style interior with a lot of use of mortar and
salvaged lumbers. Sharing office rooms on the fourth and fifth
floor have a comfortable lounge with sofas and the rooftop has s
sky lounge, and they are for office users. The third story is
occupied by LINE that designed this whole environmental project.

THE HAMAMATSU SHINKIN BANK Ekinan Branch is located in
Hamamatsu city in Shizuoka prefecture, some two hours drive
from Tokyo. The designer of this project already created Kirari
Town Branch of the same bank (see July 2014 issue of
Shotenkenchiku ). This Ekinan Branch, following the design of the
former branch, advanced more. To fit and to respect local context
of the site, the building has a public corridor paved with warm
feeling material to let people walk through it from two roads. The
ceiling and walls used a local material Tenryu cedar to
demonstrate community appeal.

This featured article focuses on black materials, including
interviews with interior designers who like black, which shows
readers some useful techniques to use black effectively, together
with case studies and material lists. One example, RACE, a office
renewal project of the consulting firm designed by Yukio
Hashimoto. Its waiting space like a starry sky in the universe, with
use of dark blue wall that opened the myriad hole and LED
lighting. Aesop Kyoto, designed by Shinichiro Ogata, was based
upon aesthetic of black and white, in other words, light and
shadow. How were these environments created so smartly?
