Nobu Hotel is made up of 7 floors with large continuous balconies that appear on its façade. These balconies, as openings in the volume, try to reduce the weight of the formal composition of the work and generate a discontinuous and balanced play of the volume.
Its interior is endowed with simplicity through materiality generated by elements such as wood, stone, concrete and glass. A strong Japanese essence permeates the entire work, a decision that is the result of the original Japanese restaurant Nobu in Los Angeles.
