Macherie / Bellclassic Asahikawa

wedding reception hall

"Macherie" is a wedding reception hall of "Bellclassic Asahikawa", in Hokkaido, Japan. It contains "Waiting Room" which can be used as mini chapel, "Hall" as a guest room, "Balcony" with golden waterfall, and "Brides Room".

Waiting Room has indirect lightings in pergola without any downlights. This room also can be used as a mini chapel, so there is the cross made of indirect lights on the end wall. On the right wall, 17 pendant lights can be looked from hall when folding doors opened. Slits of the left wall are hidden way to Hall for staffs, they can go to and come back from hall without opening the doors.

Pendant lights with bubbled glass are fixed by steel pipes to avoid swaying and hitting against the wall.

Next room beyond folding door is hall with "fan-delier" and balcony with golden waterfall.

"fan-delier" is made of ceiling fan and indirect lighting to resemble chandelier. Wind of fan passes stainless steel cylinder which is illuminated by light.

Memories of bride and groom on display shelves.

Golden waterfall of Balcony becomes transparent by turning off lights of Hall, Brides Room appears beyond falling water. So it is possible to show the bride and groom walking on the corridor from Brides Room.
