About the Project
| Overview | This was a renovation project for the relocation of the head office and headquarters of Toyama Daiichi Bank, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary since its founding. Kengo Kuma & Associates was in charge of Architectural Design, and the bank relocated to "TOYAMA Kirari," a redeveloped building that also houses the Toyama City Library and Glass Art Museum. We were in charge of the design of the basement 1F visitor hall, the 1F head office sales department, the 7F employee area, the 8F executive and visitor area and employee area, and the 9F hall. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | As the head office of a historic bank, the design needed to have a modern look that was in keeping with the times while still retaining a sense of tradition. In addition, the space needed to be one that would awaken employees to the idea of a horizontal organization, rather than the traditional vertical organization. |
| Space Solution/Realization | While the exterior has a simple yet stately design using stone, Takaoka glass, a specialty of Toyama Prefecture, was used inside the store to allow natural light to filter in, creating an appearance befitting a historic bank. The work area has an open atrium space spanning multiple floors and a meeting area that anyone can use casually, creating a space where bank employees can easily interact across departments. |
