Kengo Kuma to design luxury hotel in Ginza

Further cementing his place as the top star in Japanese architecture today, Kengo Kuma will next design a luxury hotel in Ginza set to open in early 2020.

In addition to designing the new Yamanote Line station with a bravado combination of wood and glass, as well as the National Stadium that will form the centerpiece of the 2020 Olympics, Kuma’s architecture firm is also involved with an as-yet unnamed hotel project in Ginza 2-chome with Mori Trust.
