This project features five cabins made from Japanese Cryptomeria, connected by a forest path—an unmistakable style of architect Kengo Kuma, who is renowned for his deep appreciation of wood and his desire to reconnect with nature (notably seen in his work on Sunny Hills café).

Each cabin is designed with specific needs in mind, providing unique amenities to create comfortable spaces for various groups of people. One of the cabins even includes a restroom that allows for easy changing, a valuable feature in an area like Shibuya, where events are frequently held.

The Tokyo Toilet Project: A remarkable example of how world-renowned architects and creative professionals came together to redesign public restrooms in the Shibuya district of Tokyo.

Since 2020, 17 unique structures have been introduced in Shibuya, each with its own concept, contributing to a shared goal—not only to revamp the appearance of public toilets but also to change people’s perception of them. Even in Japan, where public restrooms are known for higher hygiene standards compared to many other countries, they were still often considered uncomfortable and unappealing spaces.
