The basement and first and second floors are steel-framed, while the third to twelfth floors are a mixed steel and wood structure. The width of the wooden frame is unified by using wooden studs and fire-resistant wooden members.

This urban hotel, with a wooden hybrid structure, was developed as part of the urban development project in Nihonbashi Kabutocho and Kayabacho, which is being promoted by HEIWA REAL ESTATE.
When constructing the pillars and beams around the perimeter of the guest rooms using wood, we decided to use either exposed wooden studs or fire-resistant wooden materials depending on the load and the required fire resistance time depending on the number of floors, thereby unifying the apparent width of the pillars and realizing a beautiful wooden frame that is visible on the exterior.
Even inside the guest rooms, wooden pillars and beams are exposed, and MEC Industry's "MI Deck" is used for the ceiling, creating a space where guests can feel the warmth of wood. Designed with an eye toward the material properties of wood, this is a cutting-edge example of a mid- to high-rise wooden building that conveys the appeal of wood to the city.
