The Design

About Global Hub Square Edificio de Oficinas

Global Hub Square é un complexo de edificios de oficinas situado nun bosque da illa de Awaji, no Xapón. O proxecto trasladou unha oficina de Toquio a un tranquilo emprazamento natural rodeado de aire fresco e brisa mariña. Grandes ventanais achegan luz solar e vento ao interior e abren as salas á paisaxe. Unha cafetaría ofrece comidas saudables elaboradas con produtos locais tanto aos empregados como aos residentes da illa. A arquitectura evoca un templo a través dunha serie de elegantes arcos e unha gran escaleira central. A superficie total construída é de 2257 metros cadrados.
