Brillia Tower Minoo-Semba TOP OF THE HILL, the new residential building in the city of Minoo, Osaka Prefecture, has opened, with the public space designed by Gwenael Nicolas, CURIOSITY. CURIOSITY designed the grand entrance and the atrium lounge.

The welcoming entrance, as The Pedestrian Gate, gives residents and visitors a pleasant first impression with the generous space, as if the large park were inside the building.

The dynamic objects, with their iconic shape created by delicate strings, leave a memorable impression on both visitors and residents, becoming a symbol of the building, reminiscent of the city of textile.The generous ceiling heights allowed the phenomenal symbols with stunning impressions, creating a relaxing space wrapped in comfort.

The inviting open circles face in different directions, carefully composed to create an intimate atmosphere that seems to welcome those coming from outside and those leaving the individual apartments.

The massive height of the atrium provides a stunning view from the upper entrance while creating luxurious comfort for the atrium lounge on the ground floor.

As descending the downstairs, the monumental lighting towers like giant Andon, further enhancing the scale of the space and welcoming the residents and visitors. The ceiling height is emphasized by the vertical andons, creating a luxurious space with comfortable views of the outdoor gardens and plenty of natural light.

The original artwork, a large 4.5m x 4.5m square of vibrant yellow oil-painting , created by Yoshio Ogawa and inspired by the sun, brings energy and strength to this atrium.

An inspiring space with a unique color combination in the library expresses the intelligence of the inhabitants; vibrant yellow for the brightness is accentuated by matte ink black reminiscent of the knowledge, made from subtly textured washi paper.
