Takahiro Takahashi (Atelier Shuu)

This 4-story mixed-use building is located next to a large shopping mall near the heart of Hiroshima City. By replacing RC structural parts with wood such as floor slabs and exterior wall panels, a new demand for local wood is to create urban spaces with a warm feel, that contribute to the environment and community in three ways: the user-friendly for simplifying interior work, the owner-friendly for flexibility in planning and cross-sectional configuration in response to various requirements and able to withstand the test of time as well.
