Acros Fukuoka Japan

acros fukuoka

This is the Acros Fukuoka building in Fukuoka city, Japan. The structure hosts a number of offices, retail space, a 2?000 seat theatre and a museum. It was built on the last available green space in the city so the design needed to keep as much of that greenery as possible.

The building is designed by architects Emilio Ambasz & Associates and the result is perfect – a normal glass fronted construction. When you approach the other side, you see the huge sloping front, home to around 35?000 plants and 76 different species. The roof also enables the building’s energy consumption to be lower than other buildings of a similar size as the greenery keeps the inside temperature at a comfortable level.

The southern side extends an existing park through a series of terraced gardens that climb the full height of the building, culminating in a magnificent belvedere that offers views of the harbor and surrounding hills.
