A new 10 floors office building rises above Osaka main shopping street. Nine floors of office plus a roof-top terrace sit on a retail podium. All office floors are naturally ventilated by the mean of operable windows that works also as emergency exit ways. The main facade is composed of sleek aluminum-clad load-bearing steel profiles that partially alleviate the load transferred to the five concrete and steel core columns. All insulating glass units are composed of low-e glass, fritted for solar control purposes on the South and West facades. The rear of the building contains the elevators and the open-air stairwell and is clad in thin prefab light-grey concrete panels.
