JES Headquaters

Located between Nagoya and Shiga stations, it is a typical Japanese satellite town with a shopping street around the station, leading to low-rise housing. The site faces a roundabout and is immediately behind Masuda Temple and a covered shopping street. JES'business is the construction and maintenance of highways, solar power, telephones and traffic security systems. For a company whose business is environmental maintenance, Urbanberry proposed a climate change-friendly building and incorporated design techniques for LEED acquisition. This was an attempt at a time when there were still few initiatives for environmental assessment outside of major general contractors.
