Designed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, Alberni is fully shaped by its environment. The 43-storey tower is carved by two emphatic scoops that form deep balconies furnished in wood. In both instances, the carvings create semi-enclosures that strengthen their relations to the street and to the views, connecting to its urban and geographic context while optimizing neighbouring views past the project.

Because of the way the otherwise orthogonal tower is carved, its silhouette constantly changes, creating illusionary profiles of arching cantilevers. The reality is far more structured as the carved deductions are diagonally symmetrical, the lower portion helping to counterbalance the hanging volume above.

Under the arching structures, an extensive moss garden defines the entrance and flows upwards to the swimming pool above. In keeping with Japanese spatial traditions, the emphasis is on the atmosphere rather than the object: without drawing attention to a particular point laden with meaning, the void elicits a serene visceral experience that can be shared by all.

Kengo Kuma's work has always looked to promote and preserve Japanese architectural traditions, which have influenced architects and designers around the world. Though grounded in tradition, Kuma’s innovative and sustainable designs have not been dogmatic in approach; Kuma blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with the latest in modern design, materials and technology. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the 2020 Praemium Imperiale, one of the most prestigious international awards for the arts.

Kuma's approach to architecture emphasizes the use of natural materials and light, creating spaces that are both visually stunning and environmentally conscious. He has designed many notable buildings, such as the Asakusa Culture and Tourism Center in Tokyo, the V&A Dundee in Scotland, and the National Stadium for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. This is Kuma’s first design to grace Vancouver’s visually iconic skyline.

Kuma has written several books on architecture and teaches at the University of Tokyo and other institutions, continuing to pass on his knowledge and expertise to the next generation of architects.
