建筑师为了打破一般人对商业大厦的刻板印象，思量出一系列方案令办公室与小区融合。这间供应气油及专门为翻新工程提供器材公司的分区办公室将展覧厅及建筑器材开放给当地居民借用，打开运用私人商业空间的其他可能性。建筑物的高楼底制造空气对流，令室内冬暖夏凉，适应四季气候变化。

The building in Kanagawa is the showroom and branch office of a company that provide propane gas and renovation construction services based on supplying essential utilities. Aiming to create an architecture that transcends the concept of commercial building,architects employ several strategies to connect the office with the surrounding neighbourhood. The company offers exhibition hall and equipment to localresidents for activities, opening up more possibilities for the use of private spaces. The high ceiling reduces heatload in the summer and creates a circulation of warm air in the winter, adapting to the change of four seasons.
