Shibuya Apartments | Hiroyuki Ogawa Architects
Hiroyuki Ogawa Architects has overhauled a pair of Airbnb apartments in Tokyo, giving one a suspended table and wood-lined walls, and the other dark plasterwork and plush grey carpet.
The local studio gave the two 61.05-square-metres flats in Tokyo’s Shibuya ward contrasting appearances, aiming to appeal to a variety of tourists booking via the holiday rental website Airbnb.
The architects also wanted to create a pair of spaces that visitors using couldn’t experience at home, and to offer a retreat from the busy city.
