Shibuya Tsutaya

Shibuya Tsutaya is a commercial complex located at Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo. The building was stripped back to its structural skeleton, and the bare spaces were unified in gray materials to form a neutral canvas. Each of the two basement levels and seven upper floors has its own character, yet every area is intentionally left unfinished to allow future change. Non-essential elements were removed to create clear sightlines and simple circulation. About 500 seats and digital directories serve visitors, and a large screen on the facade shows news and event information.

Plastic Box

The project is an example of minimalist brutalism. The space redefines the shopping experience through bold aesthetics and innovative functionality. Conceived as a concrete shell with straight lines and geometric volumes, it conveys a sense of strength and permanence. The most distinctive element is the ceiling, composed of more than a thousand recycled plastic crates arranged in a modular, meticulously aligned manner.
