About Stacked Crystal Form 사무동 및 공장 건물
Stacked Crystal Form은 본사 기능과 생산 기능을 하나의 스마트 팩토리에 통합한 사무 및 공장 건물이다. 외관은 적층된 크리스털 칩에서 영감을 받아 두께가 각기 다른 직육면체 볼륨을 층층이 쌓아 구성했다. 동일한 모티프는 건물 내부로도 이어진다. 각 층은 중앙 아트리움을 중심으로 배치되었으며, 천창이 모든 층에 자연광을 끌어들여 개방감을 높이고 근무자 간의 교류를 촉진한다. 라인 조명은 크리스털 칩의 절단 각도를 따라 설치되었다. 이 건물은 지상 5층 규모의 철골 구조로 이루어져 있다.

- Unique Properties
- This project integrates Daishinku’s head office and production functions into a smart factory. The exterior design is inspired by stacked crystal chips, with layered rectangular volumes of varying thicknesses representing Daishinku’s history of technological advancement and its future growth. The shifting shadows created by the random arrangement of these volumes recall how crystal subtly deforms under pressure and temperature changes, yet retains a stable frequency.

- Production Technology
- The office building's lighting design is inspired by the angle of crystal chip cuts. The thickness of a chip determines its resonant frequency, while the angle affects its stability. Based on the 35.15-degrees AT-cut, 38-degrees CT-cut, and 52-degrees DT-cut, the line lighting incorporates these angles to create an innovative lighting environment that embodies the identity of Daishinku. The design integrates circadian rhythm-based color temperature variations to enhance intellectual productivity.
- Design Challenge
- Just as a quartz chip’s thickness and angle define its frequency characteristics, the architecture was designed by layering volumes of varying thicknesses. This innovative approach integrates technology and design, creating a space that embodies the brand of Daishinku.
- Research
- Research Objective: Integrating smart factory concepts with architectural design.
Result: The spatial design reflects the thickness and angle of quartz chips, visualizing the identity of Daishinku.
Impact: This innovative approach enhances energy efficiency and intellectual productivity. - Inspiration
- Just as the thickness and angle of a crystal chip determine its specific frequency, the architecture layers volumes of varying thicknesses to shape the space. Inspired by the physical properties of crystal, the design extends the motif of stacked crystal chips throughout the building’s exterior and interior, visualizing the identity of Daishinku. The integration of architecture, interior, and lighting design creates a space where technology and design harmonize.
- Project Duration
- This project was completed in 2024 and is currently in operation. The construction site is located in Kakogawa, Hyogo, adjacent to Daishinkuʼs existing Central Laboratory. Designed as a smart factory, it integrates advanced production systems and energy-efficient technologies to minimize environmental impact.
- Operation Flow
- This project is a smart factory that integrates Daishinku’s advanced technology with innovative design. Each floor is organized around an atrium pierced through the center, with natural light from the skylight spreading across each layer. This not only enhances energy efficiency and openness but also stimulates encounters and communication among workers on different floors.
