TH Ginza Building

CONCEPT

Uniqueness of scenery in Tokyo’s famous Ginza area is created with diverse lineup of facades, with a rather chaotic mixture of light and color. The intention of the simple, sensible design for this new commercial retail building on Ginza’s Sotobori St. is to add a touch of elegance in architectural form in this disorderly environment. The building exposes its grid structure on exterior as a design element, presenting beauty attained by simplicity and rationality.
