A project for renovating a wedding hall in Ebisu, Tokyo. The building was constructed

during the economic bubble as an annex to an exclusive members-only salon next door.

Ownership changed hands several times, thereafter, but the building continued to be used

primarily as a wedding hall.

The current owner desired to eliminate the existing building’s excessive ornamentation and

realize a design animated by natural light. To this end, we proposed to give maximum play

to the oval plan and high sidelights of the chapel in the existing structure and to use light to

produce ornamentation.

By painting each high sidelight window a different color, we imparted faint color hues to

light entering the chapel. Ribs arrayed on the oval wall catch the colored light, so that

rainbow-like light fills the interior space.

In the bible, a rainbow is symbolic of a promise. By giving “decoration to light” instead of

using physical ornamentation, we have transformed the space into a contemporary

ceremonial space. (Hideaki Kubo + Yumi Tsushima / Kubo Tsushima Architects)
