The building is a new construction housing an architectural office and a woodworking shop. The firm established the woodworking shop to fabricate wooden sashes for the office and other projects. In Okinawa, many commercial buildings are constructed with reinforced concrete frames and aluminum window sashes. The firm prefers wooden sashes for operable elements that people touch directly. Wooden sashes are used to enhance the tactile experience and to improve the perceived quality of interior spaces. The wooden openings are intended to replace bland aluminum sashes and to contribute positively to daily interactions with the built environment.
