Sakai Studio:

converting the efficient
into the effective

type:
  commercial
  renovation

location:
  Osaka

date:
  2020

conceptual questions:
  How deep can facade renewal,
  pursuing energy efficiency, affect
  the existential and performative
  meanings of a building; and
  where can an interface be posited
  so that the key design factor optimises
  the other possibly conflictual ones
  including aesthetic character?
