Text description provided by the architects. First impression. The site, located in an anonymous alley near the one of Ginza’s main streets, was abandoned for three years when the project started. With a front to the street of only 2.7 meters, and the tall buildings surrounding it as walls to its boundaries, if you were to look up from the inside of the site, you could see a perfect L shaped fraction of the sky. This particular location and its narrow shape suggest the idea of going from an alley to another alley. This feeling, as well as the importance of the natural zenith light, are the two ideas that triggered the design of this project.
