The NANEI NISHIKI Bldg., nestled in the bustling heart of Nagoya, Japan, is embarking on a transformative facade renovation. Originally an edifice of classic terracotta bricks, it now seeks an avant-garde redesign to align with contemporary values. This project isn't merely about refreshing the building with a new, beautiful exterior; it aims to enhance its value by interpreting the unique context of its location with a site-specific design approach.
The name of the site, "Nishiki," harks back to the opulent silk fabrics adorned by ancient Chinese emperors, woven with gold and silver threads to create dazzling textiles. Inspired by a celebrated poet who, centuries ago, likened the beauty of this area鈥攚here cherry and willow trees intertwine鈥攖o that of splendid Nishiki fabric, the project adopts a concept of "Adorning with Nishiki."
In homage to this heritage, the building's facade will feature a combination of two types of aluminum louvers, representing the shimmer of silver threads, set in a random pattern to bring dynamic texture. Interwoven with these are warm-toned line lights, evoking the golden threads of Nishiki, to illuminate the nightscape with a resplendent glow.
This design does not merely renovate but reinvents, paying tribute to the rich tapestry of history and beauty that defines its setting. It is a testament to the power of thoughtful, context-driven design to transform spaces into landmarks. Through this renovation, the NANEI NISHIKI Building aspires to be not just a structure, but a beacon of innovation and elegance, reflecting the layered complexities and vibrant culture of its surroundings.
