Takahiro Ichimaru,Tetsuya Tatenami Nippo Junction Head Office
Nippo Junction Head Office is Silver Design Award winner in 2019 - 2020 Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award Category.
Nippo Junction Head Office

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.

The unrelenting pursuit of technological excellence, the close teamwork between diverse individuals, and the resulting collective strength of the Nihon Sekkei Group. On this threefold footing, we strive to "link" all whom we contact, people to people, people to spaces and people to the future. We value the past history and cultural associations of each site and will continue to create new and timeless society-friendly values in our architectural and urban designs. We believe the concepts and development of a project lie in the close communication we cultivate with our clients, in our flexible organization allowing effective corroboration between specialized technical fields and in the people living in the here and now. Nihon Sekkei mobilizes its collective strength to be your partner in designing together with our clients, a healthy environment that will transcend the boundaries of architecture, national boundaries, and the tests of time.

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.
