Nisseki Honkan, Office building in Nishi-Shinbashi, Japan.
Nisseki Honkan is an office building in Nishi-Shinbashi built directly above a subway station and distinguished by its twelve angled eaves. These structural elements create interior office spaces completely free of supporting pillars.
The building was completed in August 1962 and marked an important milestone in Tokyo's post-war architectural and urban development. The structure demonstrates early innovations in modern architecture during this period of expansion.
The building incorporates traditional Japanese architectural elements through its eaves and verandas while maintaining modern office functionality and design principles.
The location directly above a subway station makes the building very easy to reach with immediate transit access. The window placement allows abundant natural light throughout the office spaces while the southwest-facing side is protected from excessive heat through thoughtful design.
Non-homogenous wood materials used in the eaves contribute to carbon reduction while creating separation between the busy intersection and office environments.
