日本メナード化粧品本社ビル, Wolkenkratzer in Japan
The Japan Menard Cosmetics Headquarters Building is a modern skyscraper in Nagoya with fourteen floors and a total height exceeding 60 meters. It contains shops, offices, and training rooms where visitors can purchase cosmetic products or receive beauty treatments.
The building was completed in 2002 and won the Aichi Urban Architecture Award. Since its opening, it has become a landmark in Nagoya's business district and represents the company's growth in the city's modern landscape.
The building carries the name of Menard, a company that has produced beauty products in Japan for decades. It serves as a gathering place where people come to purchase cosmetics or receive treatments, making it part of the city's everyday rhythm.
The building is located near Hisaya-odori subway station and is easy to reach. The surrounding area with parks and cafes offers visitors many opportunities to walk and rest after shopping or receiving treatments.
The building's facade uses a special double-skin glass construction with air between the layers, which keeps the interior warm in winter and cool in summer. This innovative technique makes the building energy-efficient and causes it to appear different depending on weather and time of day.
