堂島ビルヂング

The Dojima Building is a commercial structure in Osaka's Yodoyabashi district with eight floors designed following modernist principles. The spaces offer flexible office layouts in different sizes to meet various business needs.

The building was constructed in 1923 by Takenaka Corporation and marked a turning point in commercial architecture by prioritizing function over decoration. Its design was part of a broader movement that favored practical and secure structures for urban business spaces.

The building participates in Osaka's Living Architecture Museum Festival since 2018, where visitors can explore how its design has developed over the decades.

The building is staffed with 24-hour security personnel and equipped with AED devices and surveillance cameras for immediate emergency response. Visitors should know the structure is actively maintained and follows modern safety standards.

The building earned the nickname 'unsinkable ship on land' during construction because of its solid engineering and durability. The name reflects the builders' confidence in the structure's stability for long-term commercial use.
