\nThis is an expansion of an auto parts manufacturer in Saitama. The new building houses offices and a lab. As mentioned before, Katsutoshi Sasaki<\/b> has worked for Norisada Maeda<\/i>, a prominent architect in Japan, and it’s easy to find Maeda’s influence in the design of this building. I think Sasaki has picked out the good part of his old boss’s style.<\/p>\n
