The architectural design discourse follows an object oriented ontology where the experience and space quality overcome human scale. The site is located on a high end shopping district in Japan adjacent to other fashion company iconic buildings.
The concept is inspired from

The footprint repetition of the initial designs created a grid that set up the parameters for the following prompt. The final model was the product of a study of movement, light and circulation. Ample glazing in the northern facade provides indirect daylighting while shading panels block direct sunligh on the eastern and western facade.
