The theme of this project was to contribute to the city by creating a unique urban landscape and bringing liveliness to the King Axis at the gateway to Yokohama Station, the starting point of the King Axis that leads to the sea. The high-rise wing aligns its wall lines with those of the adjacent buildings, together creating a group form. The exterior is finely segmented into uneven surfaces with shades that change with the seasons and time of day, creating a simple but colorful expression. The lower wing, with its iconic planetarium sphere that serves as an eye-catching feature of the building, forms a gate suitable for the starting point of the King Axis, inviting visitors and forming a new flow of people. Along the King Axis, the Terrace Mall consisting of stores, a light court, and a rooftop garden, was developed, and together with the connection to the pedestrian bridge over the national highway, the pedestrian walkway to Yokohama Station was enhanced to create a continuity with the surrounding neighborhoods and a synergistic effect on the vibrancy of the area.
