TRAVEL BUREAU
Honolulu, Hawaii
Japan Travel Bureau's Hawaiian Reservation Center and General Offices
occupy approximately 26,000 square feet of space at the ANA Kalakaua
Center, an office tower in the heart of Waikiki. One of Ferraro
Choi's early projects and an anchor tenant for the building, the
center occupies the top two floors with sweeping views of a nearby
park and the Pacific Ocean. As a reservation center, the facility
required extensive use of computerized systems and dictated the
use of raised computer floors throughout. Fully flexible open workstations
and full-height movable wall systems, manufactured by Herman Miller's
Ethos Space furniture line, are used throughout the two office floors.
The public areas of the space were designed within a contemporary
Euro-Asian context. Local artists provided framed contemporary artwork,
glasswork, and custom furniture. The architectural transition from
elevator lobby to the raised reception area was accomplished with
a set of graciously scaled mahogany steps with an elegant mahogany
border. The reception desk is located in front of a 20-foot illuminated
art wall which provides much of the lighting for the intimate space.
