Daibiru's 31-story flagship building stands by the river, has wonderful views, and is surrounded by Dojima-no-mori, an area of greenery covering approximately 3,300 m². It provides completely column-free and well-shaped office space (17 m × 70 m) covering approximately 1,500 m² on standard floors. The building uses CO2-free electricity and has thorough business continuity plans, including a 72-hour emergency power generator. In addition, it has excellent communal facilities, including a convenience store, cafeteria, and rental conference rooms.
Comparing the old and the new: Shin-Daibiru BuildingInheriting the idea of harmony with nature, to create a fresh appearance in anticipation of a new era
The old Shin-Daibiru Building incorporated a vision of “harmony with the environment.” The new Shin-Daibiru Building in aiming to embody the concept of “constructing an environmentally friendly landmark building with large, stacked awnings that extend along the Dojima River,” was designed to be symbiotic with the environment. This included reducing its environmental impacts and making use of the location’s abundant natural resources, such as outdoor air cooling and rainwater usage. Comprehensive BCP measures were also incorporated, with an awareness of both disaster preparedness and recovery.
The plan to transplant the rooftop garden represented the biggest challenge, with 22 trees in vigorous health transplanted to the Dojima-no-mori, a garden of approximately 3,300 m2, which had been prepared for this purpose.
Transfer of the rooftop garden to Dojima-no-mori
A portion of the zelkova, maple, and other trees that had been cultivated in the rooftop garden of the old building were also transplanted. The forest was thus reborn as a peaceful natural sanctuary incorporating both biodiversity perspectives and the concepts of the old building’s rooftop garden.
Sheep sculptures
The balconies located at the four corners of the fourth floor of the old building were designed to alleviate the stern persona created by a rectilinear building. When construction of the new building was completed, the sheep sculptures that had previously been stationed on these balconies were brought down to the ground and relocated to the four corners of the site to serve as the new face of the Shin-Daibiru Building.
A comparison of the Shin-Daibiru Building before and after reconstruction and its transition can be viewed.
