New London Architecture

Tokyo Railyards Redevelopment

Proposed

The masterplan proposes a composition of mixed-use towers on a raised landscape, stitching infrastructure with public realm to create a new identity on the skyline.
Shinagawa was once seen asTokyo’s front door. Over time it has suffered from the pull of commercial and cultural activity toTokyo, and its railyards are overwhelmed by surrounding infrastructure.The masterplan proposes a composition of mixed-use towers on a raised landscape, stitching infrastructure with public realm to create a new identity on the skyline.Together, the built form and landscape plant seeds for Shinagawa’s regeneration. Hassell’s London team provided international architectural and urbanism experience to address complex and layered urban settings, creating simplicity out of complexity and delivering a sense of calm in an otherwise frenetic context.
