PROUD EBISU HILLSIDE GARDEN

A spatial design plan for the common areas of a “urban mixed-use complex” where diverse people coexist, featuring residential units alongside a hotel, a senior care facility (day care), and a childcare center. The concept is “Crystalline.” The project expresses the way in which Ebisu’s culture and nature, along with its diverse residents, come together to form this mixed-use residential complex as a sparkling, crystallized crystal. In the common space extending from the entrance, a quietly shimmering crystal welcomes residents from deep within a cave-like space carved out of the massive rock formation that supports the building. Liquid dripping from the ceiling interacts with light, crystallizing while producing beautiful sounds. The sight of the liquid quietly crystallizing suggests that this is a place where one can rediscover one’s true self.
