Interior Design
Tokyo, Japan

Located in Omotesando in Central Tokyo, Soho House Tokyo’s public areas spans a massive 75,000 sqft, comes with all the amenities spread across two floors and is where members lounge, eat, drink and work along with 42 hotel bedrooms. Elsewhere, you’ll find event rooms, a wellness studio, 42 bedrooms and a rooftop pool and terrace boasting panoramic views of the city.
‘When designing Soho House Tokyo, one of the most important elements was approaching Japan’s rich visual culture with real sensitivity and respect,’ explains Domhnall Nolan, Lead Designer for Soho House. ‘As our first House in Japan, it was very important that the design made it feel special and considered for our local members who live in Tokyo.’
They add that, to really get a well-rounded impression of Tokyo and Japanese culture as a whole, the team went on multiple research trips where they ‘collected local materials, motifs and references’. And with Tokyo being such a vibrant hotspot, the designer tells us that inspiration, understandably, ‘came from everywhere – walking the streets, visiting heritage sites, and spending time in artisan workshops to understand traditional crafts.’
This helped shape the design brief for Soho House Tokyo. ‘The aim was to blend Japanese minimalism and precision with Soho House’s more expressive approach to colour, pattern and form, creating a balance between restraint and richness,’ says Domhnall. ‘It was about balancing the local with the international.’
