Shin-Marunouchi Building Renewal － Terrace area of "Marunouchi House", 7th Floor

To be consistent with Sir Michael Hopkins’ conceptual design, we adopted “Aging” as the design theme. In addition to using as many natural materials as possible, we initiatively used recycled materials as well. The reason of using those materials is to give value to the passage of time and update the building to be fit in the modern age.

The terrace is divided into three areas such as Imperial Palace side, Marunouchi Building side, and Tokyo Station side. Imperial Palace side: We have installed a bar counter wall with Jomon pattern arranged contemporarily to show our respect to the history that has continued since time immemorial. Marunouchi Building side: It is characterized by a combination of a lush green area with irregular soft shapes and an intimate conversation area surrounded by light objects. Tokyo Station side: This area represents Marunouchi, which has led Japan's industry since the Meiji era. A dynamic environment which is full of vitality has been successfully created.
