星天qlay, Community center in Hodogaya-ku, Japan
Description
The 星天qlay building sits under the elevated railway line connecting Hoshikawa Station and Tennōchō Station in Yokohama. It contains multiple zones: Zone B houses retail shops, Zone C offers educational programs, Zone D features lifestyle-related activities, and Zone E provides social spaces for gathering.
History
The structure was created by repurposing the space underneath existing railway tracks in Yokohama for public use. This project reflects a broader trend in Japanese cities to transform infrastructure into active community spaces that serve daily needs.
Culture
The space beneath the tracks serves multiple communities with shops, restaurants, and shared work areas alongside each other. This mix shows how modern cities design shared spaces to support different activities in one location.
Practical
The location is easy to reach, positioned between two stations with direct access from both sides. Visiting on weekdays or early morning tends to be less crowded than weekends and busy times.
