Narita Cattle Farm and Compost Facilities
A building whose own environment attacks it.
Designing against the process inside
Ventilation strategy, coating specification and connection detailing were resolved together rather than separately, because in this class of building they are the same decision. Protective treatment chosen at design stage determines the life of the structure.
Where we met this before
Ishikari Biomass Power Plant
A frame designed for equipment loads, vibration and thermal movement rather than occupancy. Structure serving process plant, not people.
Saihaku Factory
A controlled production environment. Sealed envelope, jointless floors, and every penetration detailed rather than cut.
Kumagaya-Hanyu Distribution Warehouse
Structural steel designed, fabricated and erected under one party, removing the detailing gap that costs programme.
