Motoki Yasuhara Office Building Architecture

Sreed Ebisu T

Sreed Ebisu T is a nine story office building in Ebisu, Shibuya ward, Tokyo. The building uses a hybrid structure that combines a steel post and beam frame with timber seismic frames inserted into it. The timber frame, named the seismic timber lattice shell, serves as both a structural and an interior element.

Common terraces along the staircase support breaks and interaction.
