YKAD Architectural Design Office Unveils Yumoto Electric Inc. Factory with Greenery-Filled Frontage

YKAD ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OFFICE has designed a factory for Yumoto Electric INC. in a semi-industrial district, with completion slated for 2026. The 2,100 m² project, led by Eishi Yukita and Hiroko Sakai, aims to break the monotony of typical industrial streetscapes by integrating greenery into the building's frontage. The design team includes Eishi Yukita and Hiroko Sakai, with structural engineering by Gendai Structural Design Office, general contracting by Makoto Construction, and landscape architecture by Waso Design. Photographs are by Kenshi Noguchi, and the project is curated by Miwa Negoro. The architects note that small-scale factories often have minimal setbacks, resulting in utilitarian environments; their response engages the surrounding city through planted frontage. The project is featured on ArchDaily.
