Park Luxe Toranomon

Park Luxe Toranomon is a residential super-high-rise project developed in the Toranomon area. The project also adopts the name Toranomon derived from the word for the Edo Castle gate. Even though this neighbourhood has evolved with extensive redevelopment, nature still thrives personified by Atago-yama Hill which stands 25.7 meters above sea level. Our design takes hints from the Atago Shrine spring gushing from the small waterfall and the hard lines of its famous Shusse-no-Ishidan stone steps. The elegant curvature ascending upwards around the corners of the building emphasizes the form of the tower while a gentle reflection of light made possible by the metallic material used for the curved vertical elements provides the structure with delicate feel. The lower exterior takes advantage of the distinctly soft finish of granite contrasted by the sharp reflection of the mirrored surfaces of the eaves. Together, this design presents something gentle yet vibrant.

The entrance design with an other-worldly transition switching on and off the body and soul. The narrow tunnel-shaped entrance hallway creates a fantastic visual rhythm filtering people from the exterior eaves out front through zones of light running deeper into the entrance. The visually stunning presentation of light and shadow is made possible by dividing and varying the angle of materials throughout the space. To welcome active people living an urban life, the entrance has a wall of light located at the back of this tunnel which conveys images of glistening water.
