This research and development building was constructed adjacent to the head office building of ROKI, a filter manufacturer. The building utilizes natural light and wind to create spaces with different thermal and lighting environments. This building was selected as a project for leading the way in reducing CO2 emissions from houses and buildings. A filtration roof of hybrid trusses made of wood lattices and steel is built as an integrated structure, and ROKI filters, which are used in automobile engines and air cleaners, are used as the membrane material.
