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.

Nippo Corporation
NIPPO headquarters building is located in a three-dimensional junction of various infrastructures such as Yaesu-dori, which is directly connected to Tokyo Station, a capital highway that crosses over three-dimensional, and a park on artificial ground. The company is a top runner in creating roads and other urban infrastructures. The word Michi is included in the company's logo and slogan, and can be said to be a symbol of this company. Reorganizing the connection between neighboring cities and workplaces, which had been diluted at the former headquarters, by pulling the “way” connecting the cities into the common office of the new headquarters as Michi linking the workplaces. I tried. Based on the concept of Junction where Michi's connections join in three dimensions, we also devised devices to reaffirm the company's identity, such as the relationship with the local community that the company has cultivated and the meaning of creating roads.
