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

Introducing the case study of the "KES method" for joining metal fittings in wooden construction: "A roadside station open to the city."

We would like to introduce a case study of the "KES construction method," which uses unique connection hardware in wooden architecture. This is a roadside station that features local wood, crafted by local artisans, and showcases agricultural products from local farmers. This area, famous for its highland vegetables, is one of the heaviest snowfall regions in the Chugoku region. To ensure safe access around the building even in winter and to approach each section, we adopted the KES construction method. This roadside station aims to be recognized by people as a new landscape in this area, which changes dramatically in winter, and to contribute to regional revitalization. 【Case Study】 <Roadside Station Takano> ■ Design: Oohata Renhe Architectural Design ■ Location: Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture ■ Site Area: 4,694.74 m² ■ Building Area: 1,797.06 m² ■ Total Floor Area: 1,487.25 m² ■ Number of Floors: 1 above ground *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
