The Westin Yokohama 2022

Client : Sekisui House
Design : Nihon Sekkei / GA Design International

The spirit of the Westin brand vision is based on “well-being.” This lighting design embodies the biophilic design with suggestions of natural light breaking through thick foliage and lighting methods to highlight greenery. In the reception lobby, lighting seems to sway in a calm breeze, simulated in a large-scale chandelier. Brightness and shade of color also change to simulate natural lighting in a grove of trees.
The building facade designed like sailboat which embodies Yokohama, as a city that has thrived in trade and commerce. Inside, the harbor and nature coalesce the interior design, for an elegant and comfortable lighting environment.
