Hirano Ward Office Kami Branch

The building has a symbolic design as the face of the city and as an information center located at an intersection. It also serves as a meeting place for residents to interact in community development activities. In designing the building, we aimed to embody the local history in the form of architecture and space, and to express a new Japanese style hidden deep within our sensibilities through a neat monotone composition. The interior of the building is designed to be friendly and easy to use, with latticework and wooden signs that evoke a sense of nostalgia and attachment to the local community by utilizing the warmth of the wood.
