SENSHUKAI New Head Office Building
Osaka 2008This project involved the construction of a new head office building for Senshukai, a mail-order company targeting mainly women. With the image of the company's main brand, "Belle Maison" (beautiful house), the exterior is composed of 60-square-millimeter ceramic louvers. The abstract silhouette of the "maison" from a distance transforms into a soft, glowing silhouette as you come closer, designed to connect to the real image of the building. A light, abstract painting-like façde with the feeling of transparency has been created.
