Nagoya has long cultivated performance art and artists and is known as the place of entertainment within Japan. Mizono-za, is located in the center of Nagoya’s theater district and we were tasked with reviving the historic space. The building is a new and unusual complex in that it integrates a shopping center facing a main road, as well apartments above the theater. The former theatre had walls of Namako-kabe (black square tiles with raised white grout), and we used this as the motif of our design developing into a glamorously illuminated façade that could match the “flower” of the city. As for the interior, we looked back to the old Misono-za by using vermillion as the basic color. A wide corridor stretching from the foyer to the main entrance was covered with vermillion helping to enhance this bright and beautiful theater that represents Nagoya.

「芸所」といわれる名古屋の演劇文化の中心、御園座を再生した。
道路に面した商業施設、劇場上部の集合住宅との複合によって、新しい形の複合型劇場を実現した。旧御園座のナマコ壁のデザインをヒントにして、「都市の華」にふさわしいはなやかな光のファサードで、建物を覆った。
インテリアでは、旧御園座に使われていた朱色を基本色とし、ホワイエから、エントランスに到るまで、朱色で覆いつくすことで、名古屋という街にふさわしい、明るくはなやかな劇場が実現した。
