About Urawa Garden Bldg Bangunan Pejabat
Urawa Garden Building ialah sebuah bangunan pejabat di Urawa, Saitama, Jepun. Sebuah laluan tembus merentasi tapak dan menghubungkan jalan-jalan di sekelilingnya, mengingatkan kembali kepada bekas jalan membeli-belah Nakaginza Seven. Plaza terbuka di sepanjang laluan tersebut menyediakan tempat pertemuan untuk pejalan kaki dan pekerja pejabat. Fasadnya menampilkan kiub kaca terapung dengan tahap ketelusan yang berbeza-beza, menjadikan penampilannya berubah mengikut cahaya siang. Bahan semula jadi, tumbuhan hijau dan karya seni digunakan di ruang kerja dalaman. Pencahayaan cekap tenaga dan strategi reka bentuk pasif menyokong keselesaan dan kelestarian.

- Production Technology
- The facade integrates glass panels with varying transparency, reflecting urban layers dynamically. Natural materials harmonize with the surroundings, creating a warm and inviting office space. An energy-efficient lighting scheme and passive design strategies enhance sustainability and comfort, ensuring an environmentally responsible and user-friendly work environment.
- Design Challenge
- The primary challenge was balancing commercial functions with public accessibility. By strategically placing the through passage and open plazas, the project strengthened the connection between office spaces and the urban fabric. The floating glass cubes required innovative lightweight structures and varied transparency to seamlessly integrate the architecture with the cityscape.
- Research
- Type of Research: Urban architectural design
Objective: Exploring the potential of offices integrating commercial and public space
Methodology: Analysis of historical urban transitions, urban-scale simulations
Data Collection: Pedestrian movement observations, visual simulations
Results: Creation of an urban-office hybrid through passageways and plazas
Impact: Enhancing pedestrian networks and establishing a new urban icon - Inspiration
- The design draws inspiration from the site’s historical layers, reinterpreting Edo-period urban structures and the postwar vibrancy of local shopping streets. The building reconstructs past pedestrian flows, creating an open urban space. The floating glass cubes symbolize the lights and energy of the former market, establishing a new architectural landmark that bridges tradition and contemporary urban life.
- Project Duration
- The project is located in Urawa, Saitama, Japan, and was completed in February 2024.
- Operation Flow
