GOLD WINNING PROJECT IN INTERIOR DESIGN

The Chapel of Tokyo Kaikan by NIKKEN SPACE DESIGN LTD

About The Chapel of Tokyo Kaikan

okyo Kaikan's main building with the Imperial Palace view opened in 1922 as a world-famous social venue that anyone could use. The chapel is newly built in Tokyo Kaikan along with its rebuilding in 2019. Tokyo Kaikan's history, tradition, style plus Imperial Palace forest view make it ideal for special ceremonies,  with Japanese aesthetics enjoying the passage of time and seasons, blurring indoor-outdoor borders.

Inspired by the Imperial Palace forest, the approach is like the sun through a tree canopy, inviting to extraordinary places, with natural light's direction and quality evoking nature's changing elements of time, season, weather, etc.

Intersecting light and wood lattice create the couple's special space, quietly celebrating them.

This Chapel, real only there and then, is eternal in memory.
