ALBERNI BY KUMA IS JAPANESE STARCHITECT KENGO KUMA'S VISIONARY NEW DEVELOPMENT
SET TO BECOME AN ICON OF DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER, Alberni by Kuma is a spectacular residential vision, realised by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma in collaboration with Canadian luxury property developers Westbank Corporation and Peterson Group. To celebrate its situation in a locale so closely connected to nature, the 43-storey tower is clad in wood, aluminum and glass to reflect the sky and its environs, and has been imbued with a meticulous Japanese sensibility and appreciation of beauty.
"By adopting a time-honoured Japanese design element, engawa, to create in-between spaces, we are able to harmoniously merge interior and exterior spaces. Our aim is to create a sense of softness and intimacy. Even for people who merely visit for a performance, they instantly feel at ease with nature in the Japanese moss garden," shares Kuma. A two-Michelin-starred restaurant called Waketokuyama, a winery, an art gallery and more complete the exceptional offerings of the development.
勢將成溫哥華市矚目新地標的Alberni by Kuma住宅項目由著名日本建築師隈研吾與加拿大物業發展商Westbank Corporation和Peterson Group聯手打造。這座43層高住宅大樓完美融入四圍環境，集天然美學與時尚設計於一身，以木材、鋼鐵和玻璃物料反映襯托周邊景致，跟大自然渾然天成，並同時注入精緻日式美學。
隈研吾指：「我們融合日式建築緣側設計打造連接和模糊戶外與室內界線的空間，成就柔和親暱的氛圍。前來欣賞表演活動的人士，到臨日式苔蘚花園時也定頓感與天然合一。」物業的出色配套設施還包括米芝蓮二星級廚師主理的懷石料理餐廳、品酒室和藝廊等。ALBERNIBYKUMA.COM
