The Station Atrium, a three-story concourse flooded with natural light, will be "the first of its kind in Tokyo" and provide an exciting sense of arrival. The Station Atrium will integrate the development to the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line. The bridge sectionally divides and defines two public zones at the tower base an Upper Atrium and the Station Atrium below. The other key feature is a large-scale pedestrian bridge, called The T-DECK, which will emphatically link the tower to the diverse Toranomon Hills developments to improve circulation and forge a lively network of activities and greenery. Pedestrian Deck / T-Deck, Construction Photo, Jan 12 2023. While the base of the building is expressed as a large funnel, the heart of the building will be opened to draw the public inward. OMA adds "the necessary, highly public interface" to the tower as an extension of the nature and activities of Shintora-dori Avenue. "Carved, bisected, and shifted in form from base to top, it spatially and programmatically opens up to new links-to Shintora-dori, the bay area, the new pedestrian and green network of Toranomon Hills Area, the greater Tokyo Metro network, and the global network of creatives that will activate TOKYO NODE," Shigematsu added. "It’s shaped by a central activity band that allows life around the tower to lead into, up and over, and through its potentially sobering scale." The Station Tower confronts and resonates with the three-dimensionality of Tokyo’s urban environment that steers people through stacks and layers of places and activities," said Shohei Shigematsu, OMA Partner. "Our first tower in Tokyo is dedicated to connections, to its high-rise neighbors and diverse neighborhood networks. The tower will be integrated to the newly opened Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line station, which was opened in 2020, and function as a major transportation hub for Tokyo and beyond. The program of the twoer is comprised of offices, commercial spaces, hotels and interactive communication facility, called TOKYO NODE. The project will be a mixed-use, high-rise tower spanning 49-floors and reaching 266 meters in height. The Station Tower will stand at the terminus of Shintora-dori Avenue, Tokyo’s newly configured axial thoroughfare connecting Tokyo Bay to city center. The design of the tower will establish a new gateway thanks to its multi-layered transportation node and network,which will connect Central Tokyo and the world.ĭeveloped by Tokyo-based innovative urban developer, Mori Building, the Station Tower is located in Toranomon Hills "Global Business Center" near Kasumigaseki-adjacent to ARK Hills, a lifestyle and cultural center, and within walking distance from Roppongi Hills “Cultural Heart of Tokyo” and Azabudai Hills “Modern Urban Village". When open to the public, the Toranomon Hills Station Tower - or the Station Tower - will mark the significant completion of Mori Building’s Toranomon Hills development, a new international urban hub and global business center. New renderings and details have been released for OMA’s first tower in Tokyo, and in Japan.Ĭalled Toranomon Hills Station Tower, the design, led by OMA Partner Shohei Shigematsu, is currently under construction at site and planned to be opened in fall 2023.
