PARK WELLSTATE – NISHIAZABU
- Space & Architecture
AOAO SAPPORO is an urban aquarium located in the center of Sapporo. Beginning approximately two years before its opening, we initiated Kansei workshops to integrate experiential branding into the project, collaborating with a wide range of specialist partners to introduce a multisensory spatial design approach throughout the facility. Within the city, the space invites visitors to quiet their senses and listen closely to the presence of living creatures. Rather than simply observing living creatures, AOAO SAPPORO was designed as an environment where people can share time and rhythm with living beings, forming a quiet and emotional dialogue.
