Project Introduction

Ome Municipal Central Library

Kabe Town Building (Ome City Central Library)

Regional revitalization projects through PPP

The "Kabe Station North Exit Development Project," which included the construction of the Kabe Town Building, was implemented as a cooperative project between Ome City and the Tokyo Metropolitan New Town Development Corporation. Completed in March 2008, it is a public-private partnership (PPP) project aimed at regional revitalization.

two buildings and the station front redevelopment project

The Kabe Town Building consists of two buildings: Building A, which comprises retail facilities and a parking lot, and Building B, which houses the Ome City Central Library and hot spring facilities, among others. Pedestrian decks constructed as part of simultaneous station-forecourt redevelopment connect JR Kabe Station to the second-floor level of each building.

Exterior design that builds town identity

Designed to be a landmark building at the north exit of JR Ome Line's Kabe Station, we aimed for a well-proportioned exterior design with a strong sense of frontality. The glass screens on the facades of the two buildings create a sense of unity between Building A and Building B while also expressing the individuality of each structure.
