About Global Hub Square Kantoorgebou

Global Hub Square is 'n kantoorgebou-kompleks geleë in 'n woud op Awaji-eiland, Japan. Die projek het 'n Tokio-kantoor verskuif na 'n stil natuurlike terrein omring deur vars lug en seebries. Groot vensters bring sonlig en wind na die binnenruimtes en open die vertrekke na die landskap. 'n Kafeteria bedien gesonde maaltye, gemaak met plaaslike kos, aan beide werknemers en eilandbewoners. Die argitektuur herinner aan 'n tempel deur 'n reeks van sierlike boë en 'n groot sentrale trap. Die totale vloeroppervlakte is 2257 vierkante meter.

The client wanted a beautiful view of the landscape, large windows to let in plenty of sunlight and wind come inside, and a cafeteria, where both employees and resident of the island could enjoy healthy meals made with local food.
