High-strength, quality-stable structural laminated timber is used for columns and beams. The SE construction method features a rigid jointed frame structure created by connecting these columns and beams with specialized SE hardware. Additionally, structural calculations are performed for the entire building to check seismic resistance. 【Features】 ◆ Wooden seismic construction method with zero collapse from earthquakes ◆ Structural components such as hardware that maintain strength even after 100 years ◆ Guaranteed deflection of 1/500 or more. 【Reasons for High Seismic Performance】 ◆ Adoption of high-strength, quality-stable "structural laminated timber" ◆ Minimal cross-sectional defects at the joints of columns and beams ◆ High pull-out strength of columns ◆ Structural calculations backed by numerical data ◆ Processed at a precision designated precut factory.

Large-scale buildings enter the era of wooden construction ~Simple and rich wooden architecture that responds to diversity~ When you find yourself in a space made of wood, you naturally feel a sense of comfort. The importance of using wood in architecture has been reevaluated in a circular society, and the promotion of wood utilization is being encouraged. Compared to steel and reinforced concrete structures, wooden construction is lightweight and has the advantage of reducing construction costs and timelines. The "SE construction method" achieves excellent seismic resistance and high spatial flexibility through meticulously managed materials and precise structural calculations. It allows for exposed columns and beams through fire-resistance design, and it can also be made into fire-resistant buildings. Wooden construction is particularly suitable for large and medium-sized buildings. Leveraging nearly 20 years of experience in wooden frame construction developed through the SE method, we will unlock new possibilities for wooden architecture.

The "Revised Energy Conservation Act for Buildings," promulgated in May 2019, has brought attention to the energy-saving performance of homes. 【An Era of Considering Homes in Terms of Fuel Efficiency】 Triggered by energy issues, energy conservation, energy creation, and Zero Energy Houses (ZEH) have become necessary in residential settings. 【Living in a Low-Fuel-Efficiency Home with Good Energy-Saving Performance】 To create low-fuel-efficiency homes, there are various methods to reduce energy consumption. One way to verify whether each of these methods functions properly before actually building a home is through "energy-saving calculations." In energy-saving calculations, the home's insulation performance, solar shading performance, and energy consumption are determined based on calculation methods established by the government. 【For Homes Anticipating 10 or 20 Years Ahead】 Starting in April 2021, it became mandatory for architects to explain to homeowners whether new single-family homes comply with energy-saving standards. This will likely increase interest in energy conservation. Not only focusing on numerical calculations, we will support home building through "energy-saving calculations" to provide more comfortable living spaces.

The "Home Building Structural Calculation Navigator" is a service that allows those considering custom wooden homes to proceed with their home building with peace of mind. "Structural calculation" may be an unfamiliar term, but it is a standard calculation for steel-framed buildings and reinforced concrete structures like offices and condominiums. To ensure that buildings do not collapse during major earthquakes or typhoons, specialized structural engineers perform numerical calculations from various angles to determine the materials and thicknesses needed. With the SE construction method, even wooden homes can have their structural strength understood in advance according to the family's lifestyle, the shape of the house, and the climatic characteristics of the construction site. You can verify with the construction company how strong the house you are about to build is and why it is safe. The "Home Building Structural Calculation Navigator" is a unique service that allows for numerical confirmation with the contractor to ensure that each individual structure is optimized and satisfactory.

◆What is Yagura? Yagura is a wooden space creation tool that utilizes the SE construction method, which has over 20,000 achievements as an earthquake-resistant construction method, and applies its framework to various purposes such as exhibition booths and outdoor wood frames, providing "strength, beauty, and comfort." ◆Increasing Visitor Attraction at Exhibitions Exhibition booths utilizing Yagura can attract attention with their presence, thereby increasing visitor attraction rates. They can create unique spatial presentations by defining large spaces. ◆Flexible Shape Changes through Unified Modules By modularizing components, it is possible to rearrange and change shapes and layouts like a puzzle. ◆High Durability Achieved with Pressure-Injected Agents In recent years, a new market for wood frames has expanded with the use of glamping facilities. Pressure-injected agents are used in the wooden frame structure to alleviate concerns about decay and termite damage when using wood outdoors. Additionally, by constructing only with columns and beams without braces or ties, a simple design unique to Yagura has been realized.
