Luxury Brand‘s Omotesando Store
We utilized special stainless steel panels to lighten the weight of facade materials. Each of the glass panels measured at 2.3 meters across by 9.0 meters high, making them some of the largest ever used in Japan.
Point of Infinity
Point of Infinity is a 21-meter-tall art installation on San Francisco's Yerba Buena Island.
The base section is made of GFRC and the upper portion of stainless steel.
It is the largest project ever brought to fruition by Hiroshi Sugimoto as part of his mathematical models series.
Showa Women's University Main Entry Gate Renovation
This main entry gate renovation project was carried out to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Showa Women's University's founding. Based on the design of architect Yuko Nagayama, an alumnus of the university, we carried out manufacturing, installation and lighting work for the gate door and retaining wall elements.
