"Goldwin Harajuku Building: A Modern Masterpiece by Studio Hashimura"

Goldwin, Japan's leading manufacturer and distributor of sports and outdoor apparel, has built a new building in Harajuku to house The North Face store. The narrow and irregularly shaped site inspired a distorted building design with a symmetrical façade. The interior features natural materials, such as plaster walls and ceramic tile floors on the lower level, and a warm interior wrapped in solid wood on the upper level. The structure is lightweight, with a steel-braced structure and autoclaved aerated concrete panels for the floor slab and exterior walls.
