Located in the heart of the Shibuya shopping district, the concept was
to create a small luxury fashion centre comprising shops on five levels,
a bar and a restaurant. An interior street divides the building into
two volumes which link up on the top floor, providing the public with a
flowing, varied itinerary. Exploiting this transparency and the
fragmented form, the strip shops engage with visitors as they circulate
through the building. It imposes a unique industrial sense of order, a
regular, well-defined interior which contrasts with the surrounding
urban fabric, a neighbourhood in which no buildings relate in height,
form, scale or materials. The intimate, inner sense of space relates to
Japanese tradition in the ‘tsuboniwa’ or formal Japanese garden.Program: commercial establishments on five floors, bar, restaurant, and interior patio.
