T-LINKS Arena and Office / TAISEI DESIGN Planners Architects & Engineers

A Refreshing Terrace with a Large Roof for Connecting the Company with the Local Community—Environmental Architecture Embracing Japanese-style aesthetics and Shading. Nestled between Osaka and Kyoto, Takatsuki is an area steeped in Japanese culture. Surrounded by residential areas and close to railway stations, it's a bustling corner where many people pass by. Here, we planned the construction of T-LINKS, a recreational facility for a pharmaceutical company. This facility is to be used primarily for recreational activities by employees and for regional events. In the event of a major disaster, the facility will collaborate with Takatsuki City to serve as a temporary evacuation space for nearby residents and people who are unable to return home, fostering a connection between the company and the local community.
