[Case Study] Botanical Life Square

Awards: "10th Fukuoka Prefecture Wooden and Wood-Structured Architecture Award - Excellence Award" and others.

The design blends into the surrounding landscape and creates an open and spacious roof space. The roof is finished entirely in wood, and by using wooden materials for the interior as well, the warmth of nature is spread throughout the entire space. To construct the large space while utilizing the properties of the materials, a reciprocal structure is adopted. This is a structural method where multiple beams support each other to ensure stability. Furthermore, at the joints, GIR (Glue-In-Rod: Home Connector) joints are used, achieving both aesthetic appeal and structural performance without exposing hardware. 【Project Overview】 ■ Structure: Wooden + Steel Frame ■ Number of Floors: Single Story ■ Total Floor Area: 293.71m² ■ Location: Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture ■ Design: Atelier Sankaku Scale *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
