• About Firm
  Yoshimoto Associates is an architecture and interiors studio in Tokyo, led by Daishi Yoshimoto, AIA. We offer professional design services to clients from Japan and abroad with a special strength in residential, hospitality, and commercial projects. Our design solutions are always timeless in value, innovative, and unique. Over the years, our work have been recognized in numerous international award programs for their uncompromising quality and attention to details.

The project is a commercial/residential mixed-use building on a highly visible corner lot in Azabujuban, Tokyo, famous as a bustling commercial area. The building volume is comprised of a 3-story “glass” commercial block on the main street and a 9-story “concrete” residential tower accessed on the 2nd floor from the elevated side street. Its most unique element is a series of “stepped ribbon windows” of the residential floors, designed to provide the optimum balance between great views versus adverse lines of sight from buildings across the street, which can compromise the dweller’s privacy.
