Developed as a lesson from the earthquake. The "NK Method," a construction technique that maximizes the characteristics of wood to be resilient against earthquakes.
The NK method was developed as a lesson learned from earthquakes. It is a construction method that uses "laminated wood" and "NK hardware," maximizing the properties of wood to create structures that are strong against earthquakes. In traditional construction methods, large notches are made to connect beams and columns, which become weak points during an earthquake. By using NK hardware, the notches in beams and columns are minimized, increasing the strength of the joints themselves. 【Now recruiting construction sales agents nationwide!!】 【Features】 ○ Six items checked through allowable stress calculation → Structural calculations for all buildings are performed by computer to design disaster-resistant structures. ○ High seismic joint hardware → Strength verification is possible for all hardware and joints. ○ Significant cost reduction ○ Shortened construction period ○ Achieving large openings and built-in features with a portal frame There is still much more to share! ↓↓ Please download the catalog or contact us! ↓↓

basic information
Because of the NK method... Total support from structural calculations to precutting is realized! 1. Diagonal Walls → Buildings with complex shapes built on uneven terrain often have ambiguous safety confirmations, but with the NK method, we can ensure safety while maximizing space. 2. Floor Plan (Custom Design) Skeleton Fill → By creating a large open space without partitions, we realize high-value homes that can have their layouts changed multiple times in the future. 3. External Insulation → Compared to internal insulation methods that are applied from the inside of the building, external insulation is applied from the outside, maintaining continuity between insulation materials, resulting in fewer gaps and superior airtightness. 4. Mixed Structure → We provide full support for mixed structures (reinforced concrete and wooden structures) with garages, starting from foundation structural calculations. 5. Narrow Land → Renovations of traditional townhouses unique to Kyoto are resolved by introducing the upright construction method, achieving a method that allows for a 0mm gap with neighbors. 6. Skip Floor → Even skip floors, which are difficult to confirm for approval, are supported from structural calculations with the NK method. *For details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Company information
We at Ki no Hiroba believe that future home building should combine natural wood and natural materials with new materials and construction methods, not only focusing on functionality but also moving closer to the traditional Japanese homes that are gentle to people. Additionally, regarding rooftop and surface coatings, it is important to use environmentally friendly products that meet the demands of the times, such as the heat exchange paint Tough Coat, and to coexist with ecology while selling high-performance, energy-efficient natural materials.
