Surrounded by the exhilarating lights of Toronto’s culturally rich entertainment district is an intimate sanctuary honouring prestige and Japanese minimalism. Introducing the iconic Nobu Hospitality Group to the city, Studio Munge’s Gallery captures the brand’s exclusivity and international acclaim through a journey of discovery and materiality. Guests enter through a long corridor informed by a symmetrical water feature; the many delicate floor-to-ceiling streams flow downwards gathering in a curved pool integrated into the darkness of the floor. The sounds of the bustling city dissipate as the rhythm of trickling water perform as a metronome of tranquility. Emerging from the depths of the jet-black stone floor, the interior walls are shaped by vertical slats reminiscent of the exclusive Japanese wood Hinoki. The model suite, framed by signed portraits of famed co-founders Robert de Niro and Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, invites guests and international buyers to experience the Nobu lifestyle through elegant marble surfaces and refined modern furnishings. Representative of the brand’s legacy, the presentation gallery elevates the experience of a sales centre into a harmonious recess of luxury.
