The site is near "Harajuku". The client want to a building tha can remember a female silouette, the project of this building design is a metaphor of female beauty, this was the signal that agency want pass down.
The components that characterizes this architecture are the two curved surface walls which dominate the entire space, and the materials.
The two walls form a shortcut path which connects the roads in front of each side of the corner plot. Path which looks like a narrow alley or the bottom of a ravine leads visitors inside the building, to the event hall in the basement and the showrooms on the first and second floors.
The curves used in the elevation surfaces on the north side and the east side represent those of a female body.
The graceful curved surface walls were created by connecting the curves with a straight line.
These curved walls are used as a predominant motif of this architecture, and you can see them not only in the façade but also in the internal spaces on each floor.
