Tod’s Omotesando
Tokyo, Japan

The facade of criss-crossed concrete braces reinterprets the silhouettes of the elm trees lining the street 

The Tod’s building, located on Omotesando, the famous tree-lined
 avenue in Tokyo’s Aoyama district, is wrapped in a skin of 
criss-crossed concrete braces and glass that mimics the trees lining
 the street.

Light enters the building through the clear glass that fills the gaps between the concrete braces on the north side frontal facade. Opaque glass towards the south, facing rows of low private houses, brings additional daylight into the building.

The concrete braces also serve as space dividers inside the building where the natural materials, stone, wood and leather, reflect the quality of Tod's leather goods.

The top floor serves as a boardroom with a terraced roof garden.


When the spaces between the braces are lit from within at night it creates the effect of silhouetted tree branches.


The architect Toyo Ito was announced as the 2006 winner of one of architecture’s most prestigious prizes, the Royal Gold Medal.
