Kengo Kuma

Hoshakuji Station is located in Takanezawa, in the Tochigi Prefecture, 80 miles north of Tokyo. To connect the east and west sides of the town of Takanezawa, which had been divided by the railroad, Kuma opened the east exit of the station giving access to Chokkura Plaza and Shelter, also designed by Kuma, on the eastern side.

Having decided to preserve an abandoned rice storage house constructed of Ooya stone Kuma used the “pores” in the Oya stone in the new structural system, in which steel frame and Ooya stone are combined diagonally, and added the system to the warehouse. He then extended the diagonal skin to the other “pore” or “aperture,” the station. This not only linked the station’s east and west exits, but also the station and its location.
