Making the most of the disused Tokyu Toyoko line Shibuya station and railway tracks and the neighboring areas, this new building is a commercial complex as a part of big redevelopment project in Shibuya, Tokyo. The upper stories are offices, middle floors are hotel and three floors from the ground level are commercial area, hall, and a multi-purpose place. On the second floor there is a 180m long passage. A vertical traffic line from the subway station is called “urban core”. A grand staircase connects the second floor and the underground floor. So, this building, in its composition, links infrastructures in many points. The commercial area looks full of energy as chairs and tables from the restaurants are all around in the common area.

（Page 122）
Located in Nishijin, Kyoto, JURAKU RO is a housing complex including petite hotel and cafe. The project site is narrow and oblong and it is a so-called “eel’s nest” in Japan.
The architect carefully considered behaviors of the building users and local people. The hotel and cafe is on the ground floor and residence is on the upper floors. The entrance hall bustles with hotel guests and local people, and the active atmosphere attracts our attention. Only two guest rooms with each small garden in there and the gardens let light and fresh air in, giving a feeling of an ancient capital Kyoto.
