We welcome visitors from all over the world. Located in an urban area of Tokyo currently under redevelopment called Shibaura, we strive to become a home for everyone as a community space.Here, you will see our colorful activities as an international cultural hub in the iconic building designed by Kazuyo Sejima.
Our space is multifaceted based on the idea of a complex between an office and a park. We accommodate community space with a cafe, co-working space, rental space, and the company’s headquarters.In 2011, the space opened somewhere like a complex of an office and a park which attracts visitors from around the world.
