GYRE

area: 明治神宮前／MEIJIJINGUMAE

information

The building designed by Dutch architect group MVRDV (Winny Maas 、Jacob van Rijs 、Nathalie des Vries) consists of multiple floors situated in a spiral like a whirlpool. The name GYRE comes from gyro meaning rotation. The whirlpool is the magnet that pulls things together, and a movement that gathers new energy and people. From this whirlpool we dispatch our idea of shopping and social significant activities through “SHOP & THINK”, aiming to be Omotesando, or even broader Tokyo’s cultural generator.
