Conran and Partners completed a 20 hectare urban regeneration project. The scheme, located on the south-west edge of the city alongside the Tama River, comprises a total of 400,000m2 of retail, office, leisure and residential building, as well as a new city park.
Conran and Partners’ design concept for the project responds to the essential elements of the site: its location on the very edge of Tokyo, its adjacency to the Tamagawa River and the shift across its one kilometre length, from the urbanity of the railway station to the west, to the park to the east. As such, the scheme reflects the site’s important transitionary role at the threshold between city and nature in this popular, family-orientated neighbourhood.
