The concept of Azabudai Hills is "A city like a 'plaza' that connects people, surrounded by greenery - Modern Urban Village," with the theme "Green & Wellness." (From the official website) The front products are used as soil retention in characteristic plantings, resembling giant flower pots. The finish is ZCFC-BR. To blend with the exterior grid that showcases the stone grains, which is a feature of the building and was designed by Thomas Heatherwick for the low-rise section, the soil retention itself is required to have a natural expression. The natural mottled appearance, characteristic of the front finish, creates a soft three-dimensionality even in flat areas, covering a wide range without obstructing the exterior grid and plantings. Soil retention is located at the outer perimeter of Azabudai Hills and next to the stairs leading to the rooftop. It is a great honor that the front products can serve their purpose in a place that connects Azabudai Hills and the outside naturally, at a proximity where people can directly touch them and where they are prominently reflected in the sight of passersby.
