The Japanese Earthscape architectural studio introduce the “LaLaport Toyosu” project, an innovative strategy that regard the overall landscape as an ocean and the people who visit the zone as voyagers. This location was formerly a shipyard and this proposal was composed by reclaiming two old docks.

It is about an exclusive waiving ground that was compact with children and even though there was no appropriate play apparatus, the space was one in which people felt like unconsciously running around and playing. Earthscape architects add that “Considering the devices that create connection between humans and nature as design, they enact design works that become a platform for experience”.

Three waves of green, water and earth are stratified over the reclaimed land, with a cafe, radio station, and museum distributed throughout to several islands & white benches with foam and coral motifs floating above the waves.

Additionally, the entire vision of the landscape was to establish opportunities for a broad bundle of new lifestyle discoveries, a new rediscovery of Tokyo, and a diagnosis of new districts of leisure activities. The public travels willingly through the space, encountering new revelations and allowing their bodies be swept in the current.

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
