About The Soleil Building Oficina

Este é o edificio de oficinas para a empresa de enerxía solar con sede en Osaka. Desexan deseñar a cosmovisión dinámica e espiritual que se agacha no profundo das montañas recreando na cidade as enormes rochas que adoitan verse no interior das montañas xaponesas. Esculpida con rochas artificiais e celosías verticais de madeira, a fachada do edificio manifesta o concepto de deseño "Fusión da Natureza e a Arte". A fachada con incrustación de rocha artificial desde a planta baixa ata o segundo piso continúa ata a entrada, e a rocha artificial fusiónase cunha escultura sobre o tema do amor. A arte está estratificada en todo o edificio.

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.
