ZAI SHIRAKAWA + HIROSHI TOMIKAWA
Outline
This aluminum structure is used as a guardroom and meeting room in an aluminum factory. Because of the high thermal conductivity of aluminum, the walls facing the outside are insulated, and the building is a single-story annex without interior walls, which can cause heat bridges. Advanced technology was introduced for the surface treatment of aluminum. For example, chemical blast surface treatment is used for the exterior walls, aluminum foil laminated tarpaulins with high thermal barrier properties are used for the roof, and scratch-resistant super-hard surface treatment is used for the writing counter in the guardroom.
