Architecture

The architectural design reflects the unique character of the townscape. Many of the shops are positioned on the street side, and the facilities are characterized by their outward-facing orientation. The lower floors feature a "box-stacking" design with uneven surfaces and gaps on the exterior walls, which is visually striking. The complex recreates the traditional Yaesu landscape with its rows of small buildings and street-level shops in a three-dimensional way.

With consideration for the flow of visitors, the connecting passages are designed to allow them to experience the "old and new" aspects of Yaesu. The building is surrounded by four surrounding streets: " Yaesu-dori," "Yaesu-nakadori," "Sotobori-dori," and "Sakura-dori," and three passages have been installed within the facility. By continuously connecting the flow of people throughout the town, an active pedestrian space is created, realizing natural circulation and interaction throughout the entire Yaesu area.

The symbol of the facility is the approximately 1,200 square meter "Hinokimachi Square," an open space that creates a lively atmosphere in the town. Tall trees about 7 meters high are planted in the atrium space connecting the upper and lower floors, and movable original furniture such as benches and tables made of "hinoki" (Japanese cypress), a name derived from the old town name, is placed there. In order to contribute to the community, it is also being considered for use as an event venue, and the entire atrium space up to the third floor plays a unified role in that regard.

A characteristic of the Yaesu area is the long-standing sense of unity among shops of varying sizes and types, and the fact that these shops are lined up along the street has fostered a sense of diversity and neighborhood identity.

The exterior style of the lower floors of the building is composed of stepped levels with uneven surfaces and gaps in the exterior walls, three-dimensionally recreating the distinctive character of this neighborhood. With an eye on creating a sense of unity with the town, numerous stairs and escalators were provided, aiming to create a streetscape typical of Yaesu that connects each floor to the town as if it were street level, and this was realized. Tall trees approximately 8 meters in height were placed on the first floor, and natural materials were incorporated into the spatial design in various places, such as wooden louvers on the ceiling and wooden panels on the stage eaves, creating a comfortable environment.
