The Kitano Club has been known as the foremost meeting salon in Kobe. To carry on that history and tradition, the wedding and function hall “Kitano Sora” opened on a lush green hill in 2005. For the renovation of its “Grace Villa” banquet hall, Jamo’s concept was to create a landscape where visitors are treated to a “view of the ocean through a forest”. In order to give a palpable sense of the rich greenery and unfolding city that the hall overlooks, Jamo used the same floor material for the interior space and outside terrace and organized the spaces by creating levels. From the interior of the hall it is possible for visitors to look straight out at the ocean, and different heights of the ceiling give visitors a sense of their field of vision opening out in front of them. By opening the folding doors in the center of the hall, it is possible for visitors to get a feeling of “light and wind” flowing through the space. Jamo decorated the interior with objects that appear as if out of a fantasy woodland (plants on the ceiling, animal-shaped objet, bird cages, etc.) to give a soft connection to interior and exterior spaces and to create an otherworldly impression. The result is festive space where people can celebrate their most important events.

神戸屈指のサロンとして名を馳せた北野クラブ。その歴史と伝統を受け継ぐ緑豊かな高台に、2005年にオープンしたウェディング&パーティースペース「北野クラブ ソラ」。そのバンケットである“グレースヴィラ”のリニューアルコンセプトは、“森をとおして、海が見える景色”を作ること。眼下に広がる神戸の街並と贅沢な自然を感じられるよう、室内とテラスに同じフローリング材を使用し、床レベルを調整。室内からフラットに海を眺められるようにしたほか、高低差を付けた天井で視界に広がりを持たせ、中央の折れ戸をオープンにすることによって、光と風の感じられる空間に。また、シーリンググリーンや動物のオブジェ、鳥かごなど、森をテーマにしたファンタジックな装飾で内外の境界をゆるやかに繋げ、非現実的な世界を演出。人生の晴れの日を祝うに相応しい祝祭的な空間を作り上げた。
