Oriental Motor Tsuruoka Chuo Office no.1 building

CONCEPT

This factory reconstruction project commemorates the 50th anniversary of Oriental Motor Corporation’s establishment of its office in Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture. The first floor manufacturing area was planned to be connected to an adjacent building to be reconstructed in the future, and a bus duct system was adopted for ease of construction and maintenance. The second-floor office area is equipped with floor-vented air-conditioning to create an open workplace with almost no ceiling equipment exposed. The north side of the building is a curtain wall with a series of glass windows. The south side of the building has a terrace leading from the offices, offering a view of the connection between the interior and exterior and the beautiful surrounding mountains. The cafeteria is equipped not only with food, but also with the latest audio/visual equipment to accommodate meetings and events, and in consideration of BCP, the ground floor level has been raised in case of flooding, and a water tank system has been adopted in case of water outages and an earthquake-resistant ceiling has been adopted in anticipation of earthquakes.
