銀座のオフィスビル
Office building in Ginza

Ginza / Office

The client is the owner of a long-established Japanese restaurant that has been in business from 1913 in Ginza. In Ginza, there are manners regarding eating, enjoying and shopping.
This quote from the client left a lasting impression.
"Even if tourists increase, even if fast fashion stores increase, it doesn’t matter because Ginza will always be Ginza.” Starting with Hermes, luxury boutiques continue on down the street through world famous brands such as Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Etro, Chanel and Loewe. Such luxury brands line this elegant street, called “Namaiki street” which this building faces and from which hostesses in Kimonos can be glimpsed seeing off their clients.
In the planning of this office building, maximizing the ratio of rentable area for floor area was imperative. A lot of times was particularly spent on designing the facade. Keeping the cost of the curtain wall in mind, the construction of the active facade randomly combines three different kinds of panels.
If this Namiki street were to have manners or a code of conduct, I feel it would be to have a respect for the character and tradition.

この建物が面する並木通りは、エルメスに始まって、ルイヴィトン、カルティエ、エトロ、シャネル、ロエベなど世界の名だたるブランドが建ち並び、夜ともなれば、客を見送る着物をきたホステスたちが行き交う優美な通りである。
このオフィスビルの計画において、レンタブル比を最大にすることは必須だが、特にファサードのデザインの検討に多くの時間を割いた。カーテンウォールのコストを考慮し、3種類のパネルをランダムに組み合わせて動きのあるファサードを構成した。
並木通りに作法があるとするならば、集客としての先進性を持たせがなら、品性や伝統に敬意を払うことではないかと感じている。
