2022-2023 T Y F T is a large scale, 43-floor tower project located in the cosmopolitan city of Yokohama, just south of Tokyo, and directly connected to Yokohama Station. ere are 459 residential units being sold by Sotetsu Real Estate and Tokyu Corporation. Located on the upper floors of the tower, there are housing, shopping establishments, sports facilities, a hotel, and a movie theatre.

A first in Japan, the tower is part of a national strategy to build residences with a clear vision of Yokohama’s future in mind. Including a multilingual concierge and room layouts that take into consideration the diverse lifestyles of the world, the tower aims to provide a comfortable, international standard of living for global players residing in Japan.

The residential interior showroom located on the top floor evokes the feeling of being welcomed into an international VIP’s guest room. Kann tried to create an atmosphere that serves guests with the superb comfort and extraordinary experience of a world-class penthouse suite. Lighting design company Worktecht & Co. along with photographer Shinji Hiraga sought to create and capture the essence of luxury.

The foyer is a roomy, tranquil space that communicates the home’s luxurious aura the moment anyone steps inside. The metallic rust coating on the storage door is a modern take on the traditional Japanese ‘Negoro’ lacquer. This home is the first to adopt this high-quality technique. The double doors to the living room match the design of the interior pillar to produce a special, nuanced feeling. The beautiful polished marble floors were chosen to gently reflect light, giving the space an elegant and simplistic touch.

Custom-designed metal partitions are placed between vertical bars to allow light from the original standing lamps gently through to the foyer and living room. This partition is an integral aspect of the sophisticated and high-quality interior design for this home.

The lounge is a dynamic area with large glass curtain walls. For the furniture, the company chose Italian luxury brand Poliform. Behind the sofa there is a space for writing to cherished family, friends and colleagues. Although situated in a high-rise, Kann Designing Office used a grey gradiation pattern for the carpet to evoke nature and the layers of earth. The gold leaf folding screen art above the sideboard by artist Akiko Kondo depicts the Musashino Plain.

The pendant light designed for the dining area adds a sense of scale and quality. Art provided by Chisa Imamura on the front wall is an installation of organically shaped glasswork that evokes stardust falling from heaven. In the kitchen, the brand Caesarstone was chosen for the countertop, rear door and the sink for a highly uniform look. On the back wall, a built-in Liebherr refrigerator and freezer was installed, along with two wine refrigerators and a steam oven

The bedroom is arranged to resemble a luxury suite. The sliding door that opens to the powder room is affixed on both sides with differing woodgrain patterns. Next to the Hollywood twin bed is an original bracket light with a fabric shade that is paired with a sophisticated armchair. The walk-in closet is highly customised while a brass-coloured frame with large tiles to complete this stunning room. The space created by Kann Designing office feels both dynamic and elegantly refined.
