The Grand Marina Tokyo Park Tower Kachidoki is a large-scale, mix-use commercial development which will bring more value to the Grand Marina Tokyo near Ginza in central Tokyo.
The project harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding areas, not only in the architecture and interior design but also in its landscape design along the bridge, shoreline and well connected public spaces with direct train station access. The entire concept evokes an image of an exclusive urban marina overlooking the river and ocean nestled centrally in a global metropolitan hub. The design in every aspect of the property is worthy of a place named Grand Marina Tokyo.

The façade design takes advantage of the waterfront towers by forming dynamic sails which seem to float across the water`s surface. These Sailing Towers sharply glide up into the sky while incorporating curved lines producing gentle movement throughout. The distinct wing-like shapes of each of the two towers act as a unified volume that overlooks the ocean sculpting a layered scenery distinct to the waterfront property.

The design of the Tokyo Park Tower Kachidoki Mid entrance is directly connected to the subway from the first basement floor. It is designed to flow out from a helix staircase lofted up to the first-floor garden, therein, public spaces dot the hallway leading to and from the offices, stores, and high-rise residences. The project plan weaves together diverse multi-purpose spaces on the eighth floor, which will also visually separate the upper and lower floors externally.

The Tokyo Park Tower Kachidoki South will present a spacious grand entrance with a dynamic wall curvature evoking image of a rocky cliff. The wall stands as if sculpted by waves to produce flow and movement through the curves of the layered rock. The two-story elevated space also employs an open glass façade tracing the marina garden outside. The design accentuates the space as a step lounge with a staircase leading up to the second floor for a transient view achieved by a variety of viewpoints.

As the spot highest in the sky, the rooftop lounge will become a tremendously freeing space with a curved bar in the shape of shells on a sandy beach incorporated into the space with a dynamic central staircase. This unique venue offers a special way to pass the time while delighting in the waterfront view and urban nightscape. The outdoor terrace will sink down into the water’s surface like a bow looking out over the vast ocean. The water glitters in the sunlight and dances in the night as the sound of flowing water plays a relaxing rhythm to everyone within completely open space.

The landscape opening onto the waterfront has been perfectly designed for Grand Marina Tokyo as an exclusive urban marina for people from all walks of life to enjoy. The central lagoon well-defined by palm trees has leaf-shaped steps harmoniously arranged around a vivid fountain, which presents a fun and exotic ambiance. The design takes full advantage of the unique waterfront in Kachidoki to create a setting where everyone can find either daily relaxation or time for a special occasion.
The waterfront deck area creates a sense of continuity with the commercial spaces, allowing for easy access and an array of beautiful views of the waterside, that can be leisurely enjoyed using the range of sofas, chairs, and tables that populate the space. Step into an organic green environment from the deck, where strolling paths can be found, complimented by benches and tables, allowing for a relaxing space to work or pause for a moment under the dappled light filtered through the trees overhead.
Grand Marina Tokyo has a metro pavilion directly connected to Kachidoki where Park Tower Tokyo will ensure worry-free access to the train station even on the rainiest of days through its arcade. The first underground floor of the metro pavilion will boast not only convenience but also acts as a gateway to the city. The delicate curvature of the design exudes a feel of the waves distinct to a port city. The exterior design of the pavilion curves suggestive of a marine vessel welcoming every visitor to the city at the top of the landscaped stairs as they arrive at their last stop.
