It is a branch of the Tsutaya chain of video rental shops and bookstores operated by Culture Convenience Club throughout Japan and Taiwan.[3]
The building was designed by Klein Dytham Architecture in 2011. In 2013 it won the Grand Prize at the Design for Asia Awards, and an award for best shopping centre at the World Architecture Festival.[4] Its design concept has been described as "library in a forest", with a layout and T-shaped design motifs that reflect Tsutaya's logo.[5][6]
