About the Project

Overview Aiming to make Shibuya "the most visited city in Japan," the underground passages around Shibuya Station were improved in convenience and comfort, and planned as a point connecting the station and the city, people to people, and people to the city. In addition to general restrooms, it is a well-equipped space with multiple functions, including a lounge, women's powder room, men's dressing room, nursing room, and baby room.
Issues/Themes To improve the appeal of Shibuya as a city that can be enjoyed for a long time by Shibuya fans from the past to the present. Also, to create a new Shibuya hub that connects the station, people, and the city.
Space Solution/Realization We analyzed the history of Shibuya and the diverse target images of people who visit Shibuya, and incorporated services, interior design, and art to suit each of their aspirations. Everything is connected from room to room, and while people are connected in circles, we have developed colorful rooms with different images so that the mood can change according to the user's feelings. We have also aimed to improve services not only for women, but also for men and families, creating a space that will satisfy the hearts of various Shibuya fans.
