[Project Summary] Toranomon HOP is a bar located in Toranomon Hills where you can enjoy a wide variety of German beers. In order to embody the concept of the Toranomon Hills commercial store, "Gathering Hub," we aimed to create a store that would foster borderless communication. More than half of the store's walls face the architectural curtain wall, and the location overlooks the outdoor garden "Oval Plaza," creating a space that conveys the store's presence to the plaza while at the same time making you feel comfortable surrounded by wood. The bar counter is finished with a heavy mortar using traditional motifs to express the dignity of German beer, and all the counter tops and furniture that you touch are made of thick solid wood with a bandsaw finish, giving them a friendly form. In addition, the protruding standing tables create a bustling atmosphere like a street-front store, with people and things spilling out to the outside of the store. We assisted with design, layout.

In addition, the 7.3m green wall installed in the atrium, some of which uses real plants, provides a new view to the Ginza area, and creates a relaxed atmosphere inside the store, making it feel like a more high-quality space.
