Architect: Makoto Yamaguchi Design
Location: Tokyo
Completion Date: 2024
Makoto Yamaguchi Design has conceived a new headquarters for a video game production company in Tokyo. Known as MONOSPINAL, the building takes the form of an inverted Japanese pagoda, clad in aluminum panels instead of traditional wood construction. The slanted walls that characterize the form of the structure serve a practical purpose, protecting privacy on the building’s interior while still allowing in natural light.
