Toranomon Hills | The Ultimate TOD Complex in Tokyo ποΈβ¨
The absolute pinnacle of planning, design, and craftsmanship in Japan, with no exceptions. Opened in 2024 and designed by OMA, although the urban landscape is not as delicate as that of Azabu Hill, the individual buildings, especially the interior spaces, are unparalleled and could lead for 50 years; π The escalators are the biggest highlight, very photogenic, with unforgettable color gradient sidewalls. Different areas and floors have different colors. By controlling the distance between the escalator bottom light strip and the colored panels (which do not emit light directly), the gradient appears more layered and subtle. π In terms of branding, Toranomon was once the location of the White Tiger Gate of Edo Castle. Also, because the pronunciation of Toranomon is similar to that of Doraemon, using the White Tiger Doraemon as a mascot is very clever, softening the otherwise cold and precise space. π±βπ #ToranomonHills ποΈ #TigerGateHills π #ToranomonHills π
