A new restroom that supports women's various "switches"
ShinQs, Produce by Tokyu Department Store, is a "shopping facility for adult women" located inside Shibuya Hikarie, at the east exit of Shibuya Station. The "Switch Rooms" spread across six floors are unprecedented restrooms designed as spaces for adult women to switch on and off, with each floor based on a different theme. This project began with the desire to bring adult women back to Shibuya, and Tanseisha has been assisting with it from the planning and conception stage. We introduce the project led by a female team to realize this "Switch Room" for women.

| Overview | The "Switch Room" is a new space that goes beyond a restroom and has just opened in the Shibuya Hikarie commercial facility ShinQs. This facility is more than just a restroom, it is a symbolic space for ShinQs that supports the various switches that adult women desire, such as the ON⇔OFF switch, the everyday⇔the extraordinary switch. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | In Shibuya, where there is a shortage of restrooms, our goal was to create a new, hospitable restroom that would attract customers to Shibuya Hikarie and ShinQs and increase the length of time they spend in the store. |
| Space Solution/Realization | A project team was formed with women of similar age and sensitivity to the facility's target customer demographic, and the project was carried out while placing importance on a sense of "what we actually want." The theme for each floor was derived from the floor merchandising on all six floors, and different designs and mechanisms were proposed for each. By designing a place where the mind and body can experience the surprise and comfort of a "switch," an unprecedented rest space was realized. |
