My Responsibilities Partly design, technical drawing & material sourcing
Kioku is envisioned as a sensory journey rooted in the idea of “memory,” drawing on layered cultural influences and the historic character of its surroundings. The design unfolds as a sequence of intimate, tactile spaces shaped by warm materials and subtle nods to Japanese craftsmanship. The result is an atmosphere that feels both contemplative and timeless, inviting guests to connect through experience and emotion.
