B-Flat COMMUNE is a 2 year limited commercial/cultural project on the temporary parking lot in Omotesando, Tokyo to reactivate empty property. The site is in the center of a most famous commercial district in Tokyo but has been empty because the shape and width of the land and road surrounding the site is not usable.

The space was created by scaffolding pipes as a structure, industrial lighting for the construction site and air dome for the fold-able roof which is to avoid being a building and trial to show effective usage of the temporary structures and the space in the city. With these temporary structures, graphics, neons, signs and a lot of planted greens are mixed to create a chaotic sense for creating culture and food trucks providing food and drink.

Under the dome, there are 10 small spaces for pop-up retail usually occupied by shops such as vintage clothes shops, old books shops, or crafted products shops by artists etc with 4-6 food trucks. And also the event such as promotion of a new product or a new company etc as a unique cultural edged outdoor space in Tokyo.

Almost all materials will be able to reuse or recycle when the place closes after 2 years, and until then everything in the space is flexible, movable and adjustable to keep changing as a new type of multiple-shops retail and a marketplace as a “micro urbanism”.
