About Tcnk Car Showroom at Garage

Ang TCNK ay isang car showroom at garahe na matatagpuan sa Niigata prefecture, Japan. Ang gusali ay nakatayo sa pasukan ng isang bagong lugar ng pag-unlad at nilayong maging isang landmark. Pinagsasama ng TCNK ang isang salaming showroom kasama ang dalawang volume sa itaas na parang lumulutang sa ibabaw ng lupa. Ang limang metrong cantilever at isang suspension structure ang naghahatid sa hitsura ng mga volume na parang nakasandal sa iisang hanay ng mga haligi. Ang huling disenyo ay pinili mula sa mahigit sampung panukala na inihanda matapos ang isang pag-aaral sa lokasyon. Nagsimula ang konstruksiyon noong Nobyembre 2006 at natapos noong Oktubre 2009.

Unique Properties
The location of this project is at the entrance of the new development area. Therefore, we realized a combination of a glass showroom and two floating volumes as a symbol.
To create the image of a floating volume, there is a 5 meter cantilever and suspension structure that makes it appear that the volume is supported by only one-lined columns.
Inspiration
I investigated the site and found various inspirations.
An image that seems to spring from the ground.
Or an image that floats in the air.
After considering more than 10 proposals, this proposal was adopted, which resulted in a volume floating in the air.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2006 and finished the construction in October 2009.
The site is located in Niigata prefecture, Japan
