由于毗邻一条宽阔的街道，这座建筑的优点是可以方便装卸、数量和大小、所经营的商品和场地也是一个拐角处，这座建筑将从周围的环境中脱颖而出。另一方面，缺点是白天持续的噪音，交通拥挤引起的震颤，以及极强的一周地面力量。

Being adjacent to a wide street, the advantages of this site were accessibility with an ease of loading and unloading, quantity and size wise, the merchandize they deal in and the site also being a corner site, the building would stand out from the surroundings. On the other hand, the disadvantages were the continuous noise during the day, together with the tremors caused by heavy traffic and also the extremely week ground strength.

客户公司是一家中等规模的零售商，负责处理大量的螺母和螺栓以及其他建筑材料。他们要求新总部具备仓库、陈列室和办公室的功能，并成为一种有趣、吸引眼球的建筑。然而，预算是非常有限的，约 60%(约 240 至 250 日元每平方米) 的平均混凝土建筑。通过全面分析客户的要求，并以尽可能低的成本和形象的最终结构，我开始研究的可能性，与我的同事，结构工程师和承包商。

The clients’ company is a moderate size retailer handling a vast range of nuts and bolts together with other architectural materials. They requested the new headquarters to have the function of a warehouse, showroom and an office; and to be an interesting, eye-catching piece of architecture. However, the budget was extremely limited, at about 60% (about 240-250K yen per square meter) of an average concrete building. Through analyzing the clients’ requests thoroughly and with the minimum possible cost and the image of the final structure in mind, I began studying the possibilities together with my fellow structural engineer and contractor. © Toshihiro Sobajima (3)Sobajima Toshihiro Sobajima
