The renovation of City Court Motosumiyoshi
A renewal of the UR housing complex in Motosumiyoshi. We intended to set up a clean and secure space due to the high popularity of family residences in the complex. While reusing the symbolic, pre-existing pergola, a wooden deck and a path to walk across the courtyard was installed. The exterior wall made use of the existing tiles to get across a simple, but an impactful impression. The faint pink light inspired by the cherry blossom trees softly fade into the entrance. The sign and the logo was influenced by the character “m” from the initial letter of Motosumiyoshi and the motif of the pergola in the courtyard, which was designed by a graphic designer, Shotaro Hirano.
