Details

Osaka is Japan's second biggest city. Its central station, Osaka Station has been in operation for 150 years. The redevelopment has brought a big turning point to this Station, and it was reborn as a new Osaka. We designed a new building as “the Gateway to the new Osaka”, connecting the historic station's facilities with a huge new natural park. This ultra-thin skyscraper is designed with various materials and lighting to create an architecture that reflects and harmonizes its surroundings.
