Under the elevated railway, Chuo line Community Station Higashikoganei / Mobility Station Higashikoganei

Japan Commercial Environmental Design Association (JCD) Review

This project was launched to efficiently utilize the space beneath the train viaduct. Its spatial design not only assists in a purposeful usage of the space under the viaduct, a previously unutilized place in the city, but also contributes to the development of the town. A succession of massive white frames has turned the space under the viaduct into an indoor enclosure defined by its sense of coherence. Due to the disposition of the shops housed in it, which one can glimpse while passing by, the busy passage area creates the space of an outward-facing mall.
