Ome Municipal Central Library
Creating a New Cityscape - A core facility for urban development in the Riverside area -
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.
