Architecture in Chuo-ku (3): Yonei building

    (2-8-20 Ginza, Chuo-ku) is a trading company for machinery in 1930 (1930).

 It was built as the head office building of Yonei Shoten (currently Yonei Co., Ltd.).

 Steel-framed reinforced concrete 6 floors above ground and 1 basement floor, design is Romanesque style in Middle Ages.

 The band-shaped line extends vertically from the second floor, and the first floor is lined with large and small arch windows on the stone-covered outer wall.

 The designer is Matsunosuke Moriyama. 

 In addition to work in Taiwan, such as the design of the former Taiwan Governor's Office, in Japan, the Katakura-kan (Suwa City) and the former Kunimiya residence.

 I'm working on the design.
