S-PAL Sendai (main building, east building)

In conjunction with the expansion of the East-West Free Passage in the Sendai Station Renovation Project, we promoted environmental design in the facility for the new East Wing expansion of the Espal Sendai Store East Wing and the renovation of the existing building schematic design under design administration of JR East, which is in charge of design administration. The plan was to expand the floor space of Stellnet I T and grand open the 2nd and 3rd floors of the main building in March 2016, and to open the 1st floor of the main building in March 2017 and Stellnet II in June 2017. We assisted working drawings and construction operations for the first three floors of the main building and schematic design for Stellne.

A road for people connecting the east and west, a north-south railway that promotes regional exchange, a place where people cross paths for various purposes such as work, play, and travel. The challenge was how to connect this city with this facility.

The environmental concept was Forest Park, and we aimed to create a place where the town and station were integrated into one large park, creating a natural atmosphere and feeling as if one were strolling through a forest. We aimed to create a new concept design by fusing and coexisting the best of tradition and modernity, nature and city.
