About Ideareve Ikegami Music Hall
Ideareve Ikegami is a music hall and mixed-use building in Ikegami, Ota-ku, Tokyo, Japan. The four-story reinforced concrete structure is ten meters high. The building contains a music hall with an auditorium, practice rooms, soundproofed rental residences and a penthouse. A vestibule and foyer form a circulation zone linking the interior and the exterior. Three brass-colored stainless steel diagonal walls shape the foyer, and acoustic reflectors line the hall. The geometric volume recalls the hilly landscape at the foot of the Ikegami Honmonji temple.

- Unique Properties
- The mandate was to design a facility where residents can gather and study music in a variety of hybrid spaces. The reinforced concrete structure was designed to accommodate a music hall, practice rooms, soundproofed residential rental units, and a penthouse. The music hall and its auditorium occupies a strategic place. Entered via a vestibule and foyer it creates a circulation zone that blurs the lines between the hills of the external landscape and the vibe of creativity that awaits inside.

- Production Technology
- The building is a reinforced concrete structure. All rental residential units have a soundproof living room. The foyer is embraced by three brass-coloured, stainless steel diagonal walls, and the interior of the hall is encased in acoustic reflectors, with large walls that collectively form an abstract diagonal shape.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to solve the problem of providing privacy while opening up music activities to the community in a historically and culturally significant location. We addressed this challenge by creating a circulation space that crosses both the interior and exterior, while also pursuing a building form that symbolizes musical rhythm.
- Research
- Ikegami Honmonji is one of the most important temples of the Nichiren sect, dating back to the 13th century, and its history spans many years. Our task was to create a new community space that coexists with the cultural heritage at the foot of the temple. We sought to explore a new program facility where residents can continue to live while practicing, appreciating, and receiving music lessons, and also have the opportunity to present their music.
- Inspiration
- What inspired this design most is the unique location at the foot of Ikegami Honmonji temple and the surrounding hilly landscape. This inspired us to incorporate a mountainous topography effect into the geometrical volume of the building.
- Project Duration
- Location:Ikegami, Ota-ku,Tokyo, Japan
The project started in October 2017 and Completed in May 2021 - Operation Flow
- Ideareve Ikegami is a facility where the town community can gather and study music in a variety of hybrid spaces. Residents of sound-proofed rental homes are able to practice their music skills without worries for the sound-leaking. The music hall and all the common spaces are eligible for music performances. In Ideareve Ikegami residents and the town, community can freely express their creativity.
