OMOTESANDO HILLS OPEN

SHOPS

The independent, style-conscious urbanites who gravitate to Omotesando will find in Omotesando Hills a new benchmark in creativity: the place to go for insights into the latest trends and the most up-to-date lifestyles. Omotesando Hills will bring additional refinement to tradition, authenticity, and quality by reinterpreting and revitalizing fashion, art, artisanship, and the traditional Japanese aesthetic of wa. The creative space formed through this approach will stand for the first expression of a new era in style.

RESIDENCE
The world-renowned architect Tadao Ando designed the complex, to realize an ideal conception of urban living. The design is almost severe in its simplicity, with contrasting concrete and glass with pebble floors. The use of natural hues and organic curves blends the man-made elements of the design into the soon-to-be leafy surroundings. The concrete modules form a gracefully lit grid, and the exterior - at first glance somewhat stark - will radiate vitality once the trees grow and the essential human element is added: people, enjoying the space and living their daily lives.
