Sou Fujimoto / Heritage Tower & Green Tower

Shiroiya Hotel is comprised of two striking buildings. The Heritage Tower, with its striking exposed concrete atrium, conveys the history of the original building. The Green Tower is a new structure, inspired by the grassy banks of the old Tone River, and is filled with greenery. These two opposing elements blend in with their surroundings to create a space that is typical of Fujimoto’s perceptive work.
