Dai Building (Kita-ku, Osaka, President Taku Maruyama) is planning to rebuild the Yaesu Dai Building, an office / store complex near Tokyo Station. The builder was decided to be Kashima. Currently, at the stage of preparatory work, a temporary enclosure will be set up on the 9th and dismantling will begin. By March 15, 2023, the above-ground part will be dismantled, and the underground part will be dismantled and a new building will be built. We are aiming for completion at the end of June 2013. Nikken Sekkei was in charge of the design.
The planned site is 1 Kyobashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo (site area 1966 square meters). Located along Yaesu Street at the Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station. The new building is an S part SRC structure with 3 basement floors and 11 floors above ground, totaling 22,668 square meters. 1821 square meters will be allocated to the building area. The height is about 56 meters (the maximum height is about 64 meters). The foundation method adopts the direct foundation. It is used for offices, restaurants, retail stores, service stores, and connecting passages for subways.
The current Yaesu Daibiru was designed by architect Togo Murano (1891-1984) and completed in June 1968 by Kashima. The building is an SRC structure with 5 basement floors and 9 floors above ground, totaling 27,293 square meters. It is a modernist architecture developed with the theme of harmony between humans and nature. The pillars covered with Mikage stone and small deformed rectangular windows lined up on both sides of the large windows give it a profound appearance that creates shadows on the walls. It was a building where you can feel the moisture of greenery, such as decorating with mosaic tiles, which is one of the characteristics of Murano architecture, and setting up a rooftop garden, which was rare in the city center building at that time. In 1969, he received the 10th Building Industry Association Award (BCS Prize).
