Mido Building

The Mido Building is a concrete office structure with nine above-ground floors and four basement levels in Honcho, Osaka. This 31-meter-tall building houses office spaces and has been a fixture in the urban landscape since its completion.

The building was constructed in 1965 as a collaboration between architect Hiroyuki Iwamoto and Takenaka Corporation. It reflects the architectural development that took place in Japan during the post-war period.

The interior layout incorporates elements of Japanese spatial organization through interconnected floors that promote communication between different department employees.

The building serves as the headquarters of Takenaka Corporation and underwent major renovations in 2014. It is best viewed during regular business hours when the surrounding area is most active.

The building features a central staircase connecting six office floors, creating spaces where employees from various departments naturally interact during their workday.
