IBM Building, Office building in Ward Village, Honolulu, United States
The IBM Building features a distinctive honeycomb exterior structure made of concrete brise soleil across its cube-shaped six-story architecture.
Architect Vladimir Ossipoff completed this building in 1962 as the headquarters for IBM, with Governor William F. Quinn attending the October dedication ceremony.
The building design incorporates elements of Polynesian architectural traditions while reflecting the computing industry through patterns resembling computer punch cards.
The Howard Hughes Corporation transformed the building into an information center and sales office for Ward Village development after a 24 million dollar renovation.
The systematic concrete grille pattern serves multiple functions, blocking direct sunlight, preventing water accumulation, and deterring birds from nesting on the facade.
