Nippo Junction
Nippo Head Office is built over a multilayered intersection of urban infrastructure, a traffic artery, an expressway, and a park. Nippo is a leading company in road construction. They define "Michi", which means "street" in Japanese, as the basis of their design concept as "what connects a variety of components". Michi connects the building with the urban context and also connect individual workspaces with each other. Michi was enhanced to forge "creative connections" and to realize the "Junction Place", a unique workplace possible only here at Nippo.
