[KES Construction Method Example] Commercial Facility "Michi no Eki Bingo Fuchu"

Introducing the case study of the "KES Method" for joining metal fittings in wooden construction: "Roadside Station Open to the City."

We would like to introduce a case study utilizing the "KES Method," a connection hardware construction method developed under the mission of "protecting the lives and property of important families" in wooden architecture. This roadside station, located near JR Fuchu Station in Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture, aims to create vibrancy not by gathering buildings together, but by arranging dispersed structures that generate liveliness from a collection of small spaces, including citizens passing through. To ensure that locally produced furniture is prominently displayed, a delicate structural plan features wooden beams resting on solid wood columns and beams made of steel. The roofs are separated by building sections yet partially connect, forming a unified structure. This design allows for a high level of transparency and creates a continuously overlapping scene. 【Case Study】 <Roadside Station Bingo Fuchu> ■Location: Fuchu City, Hiroshima Prefecture ■Site Area: 1,470.99 m² ■Building Area: 822.30 m² ■Total Floor Area: 772.82 m² ■Number of Floors: 1 above ground *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
