About Global Hub Square Edifici d'Oficines

Global Hub Square és un complex d'edificis d'oficines situat en un bosc de l'illa d'Awaji, al Japó. El projecte va traslladar una oficina de Tòquio a un tranquil emplaçament natural envoltat d'aire fresc i brisa marina. Els grans finestrals aporten llum solar i vent a l'interior i obren les estances al paisatge. Una cafeteria ofereix àpats saludables elaborats amb productes locals tant als empleats com als residents de l'illa. L'arquitectura evoca un temple mitjançant una sèrie d'arcs elegants i una gran escala central. La superfície total construïda és de 2257 metres quadrats.
