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.
