Plants donated by local residents cover undulating facade of SOIL Nihonbashi
🌴 SOIL Nihonbashi, designed by Kiyoaki Takeda Architects and Staple Studio, is a 14-room, 9-storey hotel located in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Inspired by the local culture of "alleyway gardening," its rust-red corrugated steel facade features plants propagated by residents. The hotel includes sliding windows for outdoor views, and a ground-floor pizzeria. Staple Studio also reused terracotta tiles from the bench outside for interior designs. This project is part of a larger revitalization effort in forgotten areas of Japan.
