Exterior appearance

Photo of the exterior appearance of "Park City Suginami"

Up to now there have been no superhigh-rise condominiums in Suginami, and the area around this project was also low-rise housing.
In order to blend in with the surrounding area, this building consists of three low-rise wings and a 28-floor superhigh-rise tower designed with a vertical emphasis. The exterior walls display a sharp design, having complicated shapes using industrial products such as tiled PCa boards, PCF and aluminum-dressed columns.
A walkway has been built in the public area running east to west at the northern side, and the meeting rooms on the first floor of the low-rise wings and the pergola areas in front of them have been designed to be a disaster-prevention base, and emergency stockpile storage rooms have been built underground there. There is a commanding view from the superhigh-rise tower, with the Shinjuku Subcenter in the east, and Mount Fuji in the west. There is a ground-level car park in the area around the low-rise wings, and also a mechanical car park covering the whole site area underneath the ground-level car park artificial ground and the low-rise wings.
The complicated v-shapes caused by shadows and the set-back design on the north-side external wall of the superhigh-rise tower reduce the feeling that the high-rise tower is so large. The western low-rise wing has four floors, and there are sunrooms in each unit, which add to the sound-proofing of the other rooms, improve the overall soundproofing and block out noise from Highway No. 7. To maintain privacy in each of the three low-rise wings, they have flying corridors. EHS parts, which have a short clearance and look solid, have been used to finish the vertical lattice handrails.

Interior appearance

The same decorated steel sheet has been used on the inside and outside of the entrance doors to give them a simple design. Chinese granite has been used to give the entrance areas (including the floor, the plinth and the rail) a heavy and solid appearance. Also, low-formalin materials have been used in the shoe cupboards, which have been built into the walls to increase capacity.
Double sliding doors are used for the western-style room so that it can be used together with the living room for various purposes, and a semiopen door is used for the kitchen to create an open feeling. Down lighting has been built into the cupboard above the kitchen counter in a corner that can be used for illuminating something such as an indoor plant.

This work was carried out in a short period by using a combination of the PCa board prefabricated form method and the preassembled reinforcement cage method, using systematized forms, metal-panel forms and decks with reinforced steel.
Below, photos of the base isolation work process are used to explain the process.
