本案基地位於東京市中心,夾在熱鬧街道與迴盪著孩子嘻笑聲的惠比壽公園中間。這座十層高的建物,業主是日本救世軍,專案的設計願景是為持續改建中的社區,打好未來發展的基礎。
概念是希望提供一處能同時感受公園的綠意和街區熱鬧氛圍的空間,使建築並非封閉孤立,產生與周遭環境互動的可能。面向大街的外牆覆蓋著植栽,讓往來的行人能感知後方的公園環境。也因遮蔭的相關法規,巧合地形成巨大的空間,打開建築並與公園連接匯合。
建築的地面層大廳可供多功能使用,也能由此直接進入公園。內部空間由南北向的折窗向外擴散。打通二、三樓作為禮拜堂;從上方、側面宣洩進來的陽光在一天當中不斷演變;大露台引進的微風及光影變化塑造出神聖而溫暖的氣氛。五樓到十樓的辦公樓層則使用與一樓相同的折窗來打開空間。露台的樓板則可兼作四十公分高的座椅。各層保留開放的平面配置,供租戶自由規劃使用。
Sited in central Tokyo area, standing between the busy street and the Ebisu-Park where children’s voices are echoed resonantly. The 10 story building, whose owner is the Salvation Army in Japan, is designed with the hope to lay the foundations for future development in this area, where the rebuilding of the offices has been continuing.
The design concept was providing a space where both the greenery environment from the park and the atmosphere of the busy street can be felt. The aim of the design is that the building is not closed and isolated but interacted with the surrounding environment. The external wall facing on the main street is covered with plants in order that the pedestrians passing next to the building can feel the green from the park setting behind. Due to a shade regulation in this area, a huge void space is made accidently and it helps the building to be opened, connected and blended to the park.
Regarding the each floor, the hall on the ground floor, which enables users to have multipurpose activities, has a direct access to the park. The folding windows on the North and South direction let the space spread outwards. The Chapel has an open ceiling throughout the 2nd to the 3rd floor. The aspect of the sun light is changing throughout the day with the top and side light. Winds blowing from the large terrace and the changing sunlight make people feel the sacred and warm atmosphere. As for the office floors from on the 5th to the 10th floor, they have the same folding windows, as the ground floor, helping the spaces opened. The floors are made as empty space in order that the renter can install their original space freely. Deck plates on the terrace can be used as 400mm-height bench.
