It's not that much of a leap to reimagine The Lobby as a Japanese pavilion, it's low-slung, spire-topped roof, walls of glass, and raised position reminiscent of an ishidoro garden lantern.

And with the opening of Koto restaurant in the iconic Canberra location, the transformation will be complete.
