Osaka Lightning Rod Industry Sendai Branch Office / T2P Architects Office

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 21 Jun 2026 17:00:00 +0000

In an area of Sendai City where condominium development is gradually progressing, we planned a branch office for Osaka Lightning Rod Industry, a specialized manufacturer of lightning protection equipment. At many of the company's previous branch locations, workspaces were divided across multiple floors, which hindered active communication. Furthermore, the company's operations span a wide range—from sales consultations and ordering to inventory management, assembly, transport, and onsite work—creating a need for a cross-functional, easily interconnected workspace. Inspired by the structure of a lightning rod, in which a collection of small parts forms a unified whole, our goal was to create a new workplace where individual spaces (the parts) and the overall space (the whole) maintain a tight relationship.
