This is the headquarters building of a company that manufactures crimp terminals and connectors in Doshomachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka. Each floor of the building, which is built in the shape of a swastika, is divided into four sections, and the adjacent areas skip by half a floor in a double-helix configuration to visually connect the upper and lower floors of the office, which tend to be divided by layers. In addition, approximately 400m3 of Japanese lumber was used for the exterior and interior of the building.
