A commercial and business complex built using SPC methods.
The site is one street west of Midosuji, which is lined with luxury stores, so a distinctive building was required. By stacking glass boxes and adjusting the light in the gaps between the boxes with LEDs, we created a building facade that transmits information to the city both day and night. In addition, the approach to the facility is planned to look like a narrow alley, and an ironwork object in the shape of a cherry blossom, the tree of Osaka, is installed on the wall, creating a space that attracts passersby.
