ESCENARIO SHIROKANE is a multi-purpose building in Tokyo consisting of residential, retail, and office spaces. The design projects the architectural structure as an iconic presence on the street. The five-storey building’s exterior is composed of RC bearing walls, with a shimmering surface created by shifting concrete spirals design. This composition of the facade allows the shadows falling on the street to shift depending on the time of day, allowing for a wide variety of expressions.
