[KES Construction Method Example] Commercial Facility "Mizunomachiya Nanokamachi Goten Seki"
Introducing a case study of a commercial facility constructed using the "KES method," a joint hardware construction technique for wooden buildings.
We would like to introduce a case study of the "KES construction method," which uses unique joining hardware in wooden architecture. The Nakanokamachi Goten-zaki project aims to revive the "Goten-zaki," which currently flows underground in the center of Nakanokamachi, Yamagata City. It has garnered significant attention as a wooden fire-resistant commercial building in a fire prevention area of Tohoku. We created this space with the hope that it would become a special place for visitors, providing a warm and healing atmosphere. 【Case Study】 <Water Town House Nakanokamachi Goten-zaki> ■ Design: Toshio Honma Design Office + Regional Environmental Planning Laboratory ■ Location: Yamagata Prefecture, Yamagata City ■ Site Area: 918.57 m² ■ Building Area: 464.40 m² ■ Total Floor Area: 752.67 m² ■ Number of Floors: 2 above ground *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
