Entry Description

Located in central Tokyo, CASCADE HARAJUKU is a facility where commercial architecture for restaurants meets a unique landscape. The “Michi Terrace” (terrace roads) design feature has two main functions; to connect roads at differing levels to various restaurants within the site, and to promote the gathering and interaction of people. The four layers of the “Michi Terrace” are geometrically structured and the floor is decorated with the tiles designed to evoke the stratum. The courtyard houses a variety of trees showing the change of seasons and creating a new, relaxing space where people can escape the commotion of a big city. The courtyard is surrounded by a building and continuous open sashes seamlessly connect the boundary between them. We have achieved a new-style of urban facility, where our guests are naturally invited to enjoy the green landscape of the “Michi Terrace”.
