MARUGAMEMACHI GREEN

Takamatsu Chuo Shopping Street, known for having the longest arcade in Japan, consists of eight shopping streets. Among them, Takamatsu Marugamemachi Shopping Street was developed into seven blocks, labeled A to G, from north to south. This project redeveloped the southernmost G block of Marugamemachi Shopping Street. The redevelopment included a complex with about 60 shops, a hotel with 175 rooms, 96 residential units, a plaza, parking lots, and bicycle parking. Given its role as the gateway from the national highway, the G block arcade was designed to be twice as high as usual, creating a grand and welcoming space.Additionally, a large public plaza (approximately 40m wide, 25m deep, and 20m high) was established in the center of the shopping street, where light pours in, creating a new central space for the shopping street that fosters vibrancy, relaxation, and interaction.
