Tokyu Plaza Ginza - restaurant

The Tokyu Plaza is located in the most important commercial district in Tokyo; its location at the convergence point between two other districts, Yurakucho and Hibiya, make it even more relevant and awarded it the nickname of "The Gate of Ginza". The project uses a full block, an unusual occurrence in the city, and has streets on its four sides.

The project's shape and facade respond to the concept of a "glass vessel" inspired by "Edo Kiriko", a traditional cutting glass technique.The completely translucent facade, apart from letting light in, allows the project to visually interact with the rest of the city. The angles on the facade cause the glass to reflect different images from the city in different times of the day, turning the phenomenon into an urban show for the inhabitants of the city.
