This building is characterized by its distinctive window frame design, featuring a well balanced exterior with a floating upper window frame and a horizontal canopy on the first floor. The thoughtful placement of plants is a key design element, effectively dispersing the gaze of passersby and enhancing the sense of openness within the office space. As a wooden structure, it demonstrates a commitment to low-carbon construction, and the seismic design, based on structural analysis, ensures both an open aesthetic and safety. These factors were all comprehensively evaluated.
