Tokyo Midtown Hibiya, a big re-development complex, opened currently. With thirty-five stories and four underground floor levels, the building has offices, cinema complex, and sixty tenants including restaurants and shops. London-based Hopkins Architects designed the master plan of the project upon their theme of “dancing in then park”, which can be traced in many places and audaciously followed by some Japanese designers who set environments in office and commercial areas of the establishment. Characteristically, there are a lot of complex-type shops in there and they are situated without clear dividing lines.
Above all, Hibiya Food Hall and Hibiya Central Market are both on, a new type areas for restaurants and Hibiya Central Market draw attention. The former is a frame to present restaurants impressively and the latter is a market like complex of shops produced by a famous bookstore Yurindo. Also, LEXUS MEETS… is a new type of Lexus car showroom with a cafe and shop.
