Reconstruction of the Kitakata City main office building. The shape of the main building halved the regular octagon to make the shade of the north side small. On the north side, PC panel walls, which are arranged by shifting the angle little by little and also function as a structure, make up one layer in two stages, and the upper stage is piled up while securing the opening area necessary for smoke exhaustion and ventilation, and the lower stage for lighting and ventilation. Local Mitsuya bricks are used as accents on the surface of the wall panels and in the small openings.
