SAKURA MACHI Kumamoto

This large-scale, mixed-use project combines commercial, cultural, lodging, residential and business functions, and has at its core, the redevelopment of one of the largest bus terminal facilities in Japan with a view of Kumamoto Castle to the north.
Commercial event space was set up at the entrance, designed in a radial shape from the eaves to the ceiling intending to draw people in from outside, and creating connections with the open space outside.
In addition, a number of stores are located in the low-rise tiered section of the building that can be accessed directly from outside, intending to improve mobility throughout the entire facility both inside and outside, including to the rooftop garden.
