Developed while employed full-time as lead designer @ Eight Inc.
Located at the crossroads of Kobe’s historic deep-water harbor and the Rokko mountains, the Felissimo Headquarters embodies the philosophy of transparency and generosity. By framing unobstructed views of the natural landscape through a transparent window-wall facade, the design acts as a literal and figurative frame to view these features and reflect the north mountain view to the ocean view to the south.
