AE Interests: This four story, 23,013 sqft building is made of reinforced concrete. Through the integration of natural light and air, the building is designated as energy-saving ZEB Ready. Takenaka decided to reduce the environmental load by using recyclable materials for interior and exterior finishes of the building. Since the structure had to make use of its peripheral walls, the engineers used rebar to release the building from lateral loads.
