It's a five story compound building located in front of a station of Hankyu railway Kobe line in Nishinomiya, Japan. The site is open to almost all directions which enables the building to be seen from any angles. A concrete frame structure was chosen to give a strong structural image along with the toleration to be seen from any angle. It also serves as an advertisement building. In day time, structure stands out and at night, structure blends into the sky and advertisement appears.

Born in Tokyo and lived in many different countries, this architect, a former president of JIA Kinki chapter, is interested in nature oriented architecture. The architecture should not stand out, instead, it should blend into nature. His contribution to the society is that every work of his blends into the environment as if the architecture stood there for a long time.

The client of this building is a private client who owns several buildings around the area. We were asked to design a building that will symbolize the surrounding area where it stands.
