Shinjuku Eastside Square

This large-scale complex building is located within the Shinjuku East Side, a large-scale development project covering approximately 3.7 hectares, on the eastern edge of the Shinjuku subcenter, directly connected to Higashi-Shinjuku Station on the subway.
facade features glass panels of various sizes and angles arranged randomly to express the diversity of the city of Shinjuku. The core part is designed with multiple layers of blocks of different sizes and finishes stacked together, based on the area's former location as a craftsman's town, to create a sense of handcraft.

Landscape

The seamless continuation of distinctive plazas, interiors of buildings, above ground and underground, such as a dynamic lawn plaza with an undulating surface, a plaza with a Japanese feel featuring indigenous trees and stone paving, and a lively plaza with colorful pavement and water basins, creates a borderless, attractive, and easy-to-walk sequence. The green space, which accounts for approximately 40% of the vacant land constructed in this way, not only helps to prevent the heat island effect, but also provides a comfortable walking space for workers and visitors.
