Architecture

TCNK is a car showroom and garage located in Niigata prefecture, Japan. The building stands at the entrance of a new development area and is intended as a landmark. TCNK combines a glass showroom with two upper volumes that appear to float above the ground. A five meter cantilever and a suspension structure make the volumes seem to rest on a single line of columns. The final design was selected from more than ten proposals prepared after a study of the site. Construction started in November 2006 and was completed in October 2009.
