With the addition of Roppongi Hills a few years ago—the looming blue tower of the Mori Building acting as a landmark in the center of the metropolis—these areas have become even livelier, filled with more businesses, shops, hotels, restaurants and celebrity spottings. Perhaps the most-watched neighborhoods of Tokyo today.

Creators Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham designed the space for optimal flexibility, in order to complement the constantly changing events being hosted. Certain events are held monthly (such as Pecha Kucha Night, where young designers and creators show and tell their work through a series of timed presentations) and the venue can be rented for private parties as well.
