HARAJUKU QUEST

Outline
A six-story commercial facility on the same site as the former "Harajuku Quest," which opened in 1988. The sloping façade is inverted up and down according to the shading regulations (reverse shading) on the north side of the building. The maximum slope was set on the Omotesando side, and the angle was gradually shifted toward the Passage, which passes to Takeshita-dori, becoming shallower. The frontage of the Passage was widened to provide a place for people to gather.
