About Tcnk Motorvertoonlokaal en Garage

Boekteks: TCNK is 'n motorvertoonlokaal en garage geleë in die Niigata-prefektuur, Japan. Die gebou staan by die ingang van 'n nuwe ontwikkelingsarea en is bedoel as 'n baken. TCNK kombineer 'n glasvertoonlokaal met twee boonste volumes wat oënskynlik bo die grond sweef. 'n Vyf-meter-uitkraging en 'n hangstruktuur laat die volumes voorkom asof hulle op 'n enkele ry kolomme rus. Die finale ontwerp is gekies uit meer as tien voorstelle wat na 'n studie van die terrein voorberei is. Konstruksie het in November 2006 begin en is in Oktober 2009 voltooi.

Unique Properties
The location of this project is at the entrance of the new development area. Therefore, we realized a combination of a glass showroom and two floating volumes as a symbol.
To create the image of a floating volume, there is a 5 meter cantilever and suspension structure that makes it appear that the volume is supported by only one-lined columns.
Inspiration
I investigated the site and found various inspirations.
An image that seems to spring from the ground.
Or an image that floats in the air.
After considering more than 10 proposals, this proposal was adopted, which resulted in a volume floating in the air.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2006 and finished the construction in October 2009.
The site is located in Niigata prefecture, Japan
