MUSTARD HOTEL SHIBUYA

(Page 157)



Located in commercial complex SHIBUYA BRIDGE, which newly opened on the former Tokyu Toyoko line facility site, this hotel was designed upon a concept “a place to enjoy neighborhood”. The hotel interior quoted some station-like elements. The guest rooms remind us of 24h open convenience store that represent illuminating city Tokyo. The corridors are all pure white and the guest rooms are minimal. The hotel, beyond a common lodging facility, aim to be “a secret popular sight”, presenting interesting contents to visitors.

THE GATE HOTEL TOKYO by HULIC

(Page 169)



This hotel is near Ginza, Yurakucho, or Marunouchi. The environmental design theme is “just be yourself, coexisting with the charm of the neighborhood”. The neighborhood of the hotel has a lot of famous brand stores and old established stores in the back alley. The design motif is “flower and elegance”, so the hotel is simple with a lot of art pieces and planters everywhere.
Different kinds of furniture are installed on the terrace and by the windows. They make dramatic stages for visitors to spend their relaxing time.
Designer : Gensler and Associates International

ENSO ANGO

(Page 208)



Located near Shijo, Kyoto, ENSO ANGO is a hotel composing of five detached buildings. The front facade uses white walls and a black eave. People easily recognize the five building as one hotel by the visual focus points. Each entrance has each portico with plants and water basins. Based upon a traditional Kyoto style house plan, the interior design was edited by modern elements. In the back of the buildings, there are lounges, small gardens, guest rooms admitting light or air. The interior is basically minimal with Japanese tastes, plus collaboration with various artists, which makes each room different.
