A Delicate Screen Facing the City
The headquarters building of a global corporation located in Akihabara. The main façade facing west is covered with a “blind” made of delicate extruded aluminum profiles, creating a distinctive presence. This façade serves as a measure against intense solar radiation and also filters views from the interior to the exterior.
