- Design Challenge
- The architectural design interprets “craftsmanship” in selecting materials and detailing. Adopting board-formed concrete and plastering as the main technique, volumes of “green” is stacked three-dimensionally to create its articulated facade with a vertical landscape so that the building is covered with the essential concept of Hamacho from the ground to the top at 45 meters in height, not only aesthetically contributing to the streetscape but functioning as an energy reduction effort.
Considering all of the landscaping weight that the building has to bear, a light-weight artificial soil is used. It is effective in controlling root growth and stabilizing their size in a long-term. - Inspiration
- Yasuda Real Estate Co., Ltd. had owned real estates in Nihonbashi Hamacho area since 1886 and developed the neighborhood with offices and residential buildings during Japan's post war economic growth. In the recent years, they are committed to vitalizing the neighborhood through not only hardware developments but also a community making under the concept of "greenery and craftsmanship." As a solution to creating a building that attracts residents, workers and a constant inflow of new visitors, the site was given its use as a hotel.
- Project Duration
- The project is located in Nihonbashi Hamacho, Tokyo, Japan. Its construction period is from September 2016 to January 2019.
