Obayashi Sendai Umeda Dormitory
Obayashi Sendai Umeda Dormitory, which is Obayashi's own company dormitory, features a hybrid wooden structure with broad utility; this has been made possible by developing a method to create cross-laminated timber (CLT) units. While aiming to achieve innovation to construct a high-quality building in a short period of time, Obayashi is contributing to achieving carbon neutrality by using domestic wood.
Obayashi Sendai Umeda Dormitory was named the winner of the German Design Award 2024 in recognition of its modern architectural style and contemporary comfortable atmosphere are not only impressive, but also satisfies sustainability requirements. The building was further praised because it creates a comfortable and warm natural living environment, a feat achieved through its extensive use of wood.
Obayashi will continue to pursue designs that make good use of the surrounding environment, are comfortable for users, and lead to creation of a recycling-oriented society and to provide excellent buildings that are rooted in the community.
