建筑師為了打破一般人對商業大廈的刻板印象，思量出一系列方案令辦公室與小區融合。這間供應氣油及專門為翻新工程提供器材公司的分區辦公室將展覧廳及建筑器材開放給當地居民借用，打開運用私人商業空間的其他可能性。建筑物的高樓底制造空氣對流，令室內冬暖夏涼，適應四季氣候變化。

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.
