Mixed use commercial complex

Despite being within walking distance of JR Chiba Station and adjacent to a large urban park, a 35-year-old business hotel whose value had been buried in the ground was transformed into a commercial complex with stores on the first, second, and fifth floors and offices on the third and fourth floors, with the aim of integrating with the park and revitalizing the community. A local developer, who is also the building owner and office tenant, reconstructed this project into a facility with a new purpose.

It is necessary to show the tone and manner of the building and its use to the community, and it was decided that if tenants were recruited, even if tenants were narrowed down, there would be discrepancies in various areas, which would likely spoil the project.

Therefore, as a local developer, planning and management was carried out so that the park and the town could be used in an integrated manner, with the first and second floors for men and women of all ages to come and go as they pleased, and the top floor as a place for local businesses to revitalize.

In terms of design, in a 'tenant building', even if interior supervision is carried out, 'differentiation of each tenant' tends to take precedence, but in this building, while collaborating with designers of various genre, the design has been carried out in a consistent manner. Thus, the space is diverse and varied, but also has a sense of unity.
