Practicing internationally since the studio’s founding in 1997, Pickard Chilton’s first commission in Japan was the landmark mixed-use development, Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, for Mitsui Fudosan in 2013. This project was followed in 2017 by the master plan and Phase One mixed-use design of Takanawa Gateway City – the largest redevelopment project in Tokyo – for the East Japan Railway Company.
The opening of Tokyo Midtown Yaesu in the fall of 2022 and Phase One of Takanawa Gateway City, currently under construction, rising on the Shinagawa skyline, underscore the impact of our client’s vision for these distinct districts of the city. We are particularly humbled and grateful for the exceptional relationships we have built in realizing these projects.
In celebration of Pickard Chilton’s ten years of practice in Japan, we are pleased to share this new website highlighting these projects and other work representative of our global practice.
What does a luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi, the Exxonmobil Office Complex in Houston, the Wells Fargo Headquarters Campus in Des Moines, and an Uber Skyport have in common? They were all designed by the international architectural firm, Pickard Chilton. The prolific company designs all over the world and includes many buildings to note, such as the potential Google headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. On Nyberg, the three principles of the firm, all originally from the Midwest, talked about how they came together and their projects through the years, as well what lies for their future.
We are passionate about our clients, our work, and the positive impact of every building we design. If you have a difficult design challenge, contact us to create a solution that realizes your vision.
