It Untwerp

Oer Shibuya Tsutaya Kommersjeel Kompleks

Shibuya Tsutaya is in kommersjeel kompleks oan de Shibuya Crossing yn Tokio. It gebou waard weromstript oant syn struktureel skelet, en de keale romten waarden feriene yn grize materialen om in neutraal doek te foarmjen. Elk fan de twa kelderferdjippings en sân boppeferdjippings hat syn eigen karakter, mar elk gebiet is bewust ûnôfmakke litten om takomstige feroaring mooglik te meitsjen. Net-essinsjele eleminten waarden fuorthelle om dúdlike sichtlinen en ienfâldige sirkulaasje te kreëarjen. Sa'n 500 sitplakken en digitale wegwizers tsjinje besikers, en in grut skerm op de gevel toant nijs en eveneminteynformaasje.

Unike Eigenskippen
Shibuya TSUTAYA was stripped down to its structural skeleton, with the raw space unified in gray materials to create contrast with later-added elements and to preserve an “unfinished” canvas throughout the building.
While each floor maintains its unique character, no area is ever fully designed—each is intentionally left open-ended. This deliberate unfinished incompleteness suggests the potential for future transformation.
Ofmjittingen & Ferpakking
On the first floor, the entrance was widened by adjusting the angle of the sash doors, and a secondary entrance was added on the Center-Gai shopping street side along the diagonal axis.
To accommodate the building's complex layout, comprising two basement levels and seven floors above ground, and its reliance on escalators for vertical circulation, all non-essential elements beyond regulatory requirements were removed to create a clear, connected spatial flow with uninterrupted sightlines.

Produksjetechnology
To maximize the floor area on every level, the core zones—including back-of-house spaces—were organized so that, even in their bare state, they serve as a neutral spatial backdrop.
Alongside this structural skeletonization, the bare spaces were unified with gray materials to distinguish them from the elements inserted later, intentionally leaving a gray “canvas” throughout the space.
Untwerpútdaging
Since visitors come from diverse countries and regions, the circulation plan needed to be intuitive and encourage proactive movement.
Additionally, to facilitate information access within the facility, strategically placed digital directories provide updates using minimal text and strong visuals—benefiting users while also easing operational demands.
Undersyk
Shibuya is a town where people from many different countries, regions, and generations come and go. Therefore, we conducted thorough research on the surrounding area. We surveyed people in the town to learn what they currently need and what is lacking, and we reflected these findings in the floor layout. For example, many respondents noted a lack of places to rest, so we decided to include approximately 500 seats in the facility.
Ynspiraasje
Shibuya is a hub of creative energy—constantly evolving, and defined by its openness to change and its allure as an unfinished city. This nature inspired the project’s core concept: “leaving space unfinished.”
The concept took years to develop, beginning with a full structural reset to explore the site's potential. Located directly at Shibuya Crossing, the design reimagines how the space can respond to the present moment and act as a new cultural platform.
Projektdoer
The project was launched in Tokyo on March 5, 2021, and opened in Shibuya, Tokyo on April 25, 2024.
Operaasjestreamferrin
Situated at the iconic Shibuya Crossing—where approximately 500,000 people pass daily—the building’s façade features a large LED screen designed for visibility from multiple angles.
This screen continually broadcasts not only in-house event updates but also news and timely advertisements, transforming the architecture into a dynamic hub that connects the city, its people, and businesses.
