Izumi Garden

This redevelopment project with Transit Oriented Development (TOD) involved a large-scale complex consisting of offices, a hotel, and shops. An active pedestrian flow was created by linking the sunken garden directly to a subway station, substantially raising the substructure of the office building, and positioning shops along the slopes. For the office building, a voided core was used to ensure flexibility and a ribbed glass curtain wall was adopted to provide a good view. With a design that divided the volume of each building and had upper section setback, the aim was to establish harmony with the surrounding cityscape.
