Executive Summary
On a mere two-meter frontage of a flagpole-shaped lot, this headquarters liberates conventional reinforced concrete applications, forging an architectural paradigm that redefines urban spatial possibilities.
Analytical Insights
Situated on an exceptionally narrow two-meter frontage of a flagpole-shaped lot near Koenji Station, the headquarters addresses and overcomes significant urban site constraints.
The design philosophy fundamentally challenges the conventional rationality of reinforced concrete shear wall frames, seeking to expand the structural and aesthetic roles of concrete to achieve greater spatial liberation.
Comprising three above-ground stories and one basement level, the building not only fulfills the functional requirements of a headquarters but also demonstrates how innovative structural approaches can create expansive and sophisticated modern workspaces within confined urban footprints.
