Higeta Building Headquarters Office
This seven story headquarters in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, for a long established soy sauce maker turns heritage into a distinctive facade. Anodized aluminum louvers at 300 mm pitch vary in angle to reduce southwest sun and protect privacy, while evoking a wheat field in motion. Set against deep black walls recalling fermentation, the screen creates a disciplined gradient of light and shadow and gives the street a clear identity. Inside, a central light court brings daylight into the narrow plan and supports seasonal ventilation, improving comfort and reducing artificial lighting.
