01 Knowing brick structures inside and out and preserving them with the latest technology

The preservation and utilization of brick buildings involve considering various factors, including ensuring safety through earthquake-resistant and fire-resistant measures, making them barrier-free, updating their functions for reuse, and complying with legal regulations.
Having faithfully restored the "Mitsubishi Ichigokan," a brick building constructed during the Meiji period, based on historical evidence, Mitsubishi Jisho Design possesses deep knowledge of brick architecture. For the "Keio University Library Closure," they utilized this expertise and the latest technology to carry out seismic retrofitting design.

02 Other architectural preservation techniques

To preserve and utilize a building, a condition survey must be conducted and repairs made according to the degree of deterioration.
We use a variety of preservation techniques in line with the construction methods of existing buildings to achieve appropriate renovation designs.

Re-alkalization of RC structures

JP Tower

The reinforced concrete structure showed signs of carbonation and damage, so repairs such as re-alkalization were carried out.

JP Tower

For structural reinforcement, vibration isolation was adopted under the first floor, and the house was moved by rotating it by approximately 0.9° to ensure the clearance with the road boundary line required for the vibration isolation work.
