The Design

About The Soleil Building Kantoor

Hierdie is die kantoorgebou vir die sonkragmaatskappy wat in Osaka gebaseer is. Hulle wil die dinamiese en spirituele wêreldbeskouing wat diep in die berge verskuil lê, ontwerp deur reuse rotse wat dikwels diep in Japannese berge gesien word, in die stad te herskep. Gebeitsel met kunsmatige rotse en vertikale houttralie, vergestalt die geboufasade die ontwerpsonsep "Versmelting van Natuur en Kuns." Die fasade met ingeslote kunsmatige rotse van die grondvloer tot die 2de vloer strek voort tot by die ingang waar die kunsmatige rots saamsmelt met 'n beeldhouwerk met 'n liefdetema. Kuns is regdeur die hele gebou gelaag.

Unique Properties: “Fusion of Nature and Art”
This is the office building for the solar power company based in Osaka. "Design the future with nature" is the corporate philosophy of the company and its infrastructure is designed to embody the philosophy by adhering to carbon-neutral practices, utilizing solar panels on the rooftop to power the building.
We started planning the design based on “art” in the space, and choose artificial rocks as a foundation of “art.” We wish to design the dynamic and spiritual worldview lurking deep in the mountains by recreating huge rocks which often seen deep in Japanese mountains in the city. Chiseled with artificial rocks and vertical wooden lattices, the building facade manifests the design concept "Fusion of Nature and Art." The artificial rock embedding facade of the ground floor to the 2nd floor continued to the entrance and the artificial rock merges with a sculpture on a theme of love. Art is layered throughout the whole building.
Tags: artificial rock, art, nature
Inspiration: The inspiration came from a giant rock stately stands deep in Japanese mountain. It stands quietly but exude a quiet dignity. Since ancient times, Japanese people believed that spirits dwell in all things like woods, rocks, water and plants in the nature. We hope that the artificial rocks we design will somehow holds the spirituality from the nature.
