Hokkaido Asahikawa-shi Company House

Exterior thermal insulation was adopted. Hokkaido-made bricks that do not chip or dent during snow shoveling were used with a method of providing an aerated zone outside exterior thermal insulation. The outer appearance was made as simple as possible, and eaves that accumulate snow and let it slide down were not provided. Glass blocks were used for the north staircase to allow bright illumination by sunshine during the day.
