   Port Plus, Yokohama, Japan.

   "Port Plus, which was designed in-house, is intended to showcase Obayashi’s ability to construct mass-timber buildings that generate a lower carbon footprint than conventional materials.

   The structure is also a deeply ambitious statement and exploration of how architects and builders can navigate the climate crisis. "
