Toyosu Front
Taking into consideration the regional characteristics of the Toyosu area, where a variety of functions are concentrated, we have created an office building that connects people, nature, and the environment by dotting the area with various relaxation spaces centered around the atrium lobby.
Instead of the typical layout where a super-high rise building is surrounded by a large open space, the building is relatively low-rise with large floor plates (exclusive floor area of approximately 5,000 m² per floor), creating a densely planted, open forest known as a "Green Grove." A large atrium measuring 20 x 20 m and 70 m high has been installed in the center of the building, allowing natural light to enter the interior and creating a space where one can feel the natural breeze. This atrium also serves as a shaft for exhausting excess air when cooling with outside air, and also functions as an eco-void.

Landscape Design
Aiming to provide a relaxing natural environment for visitors to this artificial city developed on reclaimed land, the "Green Grove," which occupies nearly 40% of the site, is a moist space softly wrapped in a variety of plants. In addition, sophisticated street furniture and industrial remains art (three works by Kohei Nawa, Motoi Chikamori + Kyoko Kuno, and des+art) suitable for the town of Toyosu have been installed, creating Landscape Design that induces and promotes communication between people and art.
Underground passage
At the same time, as an introductory space for Toyosu 3-chome Block 3, an approximately 115m underground passageway was constructed connecting Toyosu Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and Toyosu Front, contributing to improved convenience not only for employees and visitors to the building, but also for general users.
The spacious passageways and the uniform white interior design create a comfortable underground space with a sense of openness. The LED light wall installed at the landing of the slope changes its appearance from moment to moment, providing a comfortable rhythm.
