在JST電子工業株式會社的邀請下，日本建築事務所Ryuichi Ashizawa Architects為該公司在馬來西亞柔佛（Johor）地區的一座於19世紀時興建的工廠進行擴建設計。為了呼應工廠周圍廣大的叢林地，事務所進行了綠化設計，試圖讓工廠設計能融入當地的叢林地景中，同時也在宗教的考量下，以建築元素規劃出一處能讓大多數信奉伊斯蘭教的職員安心舒適的工作環境。
在永續建築的設計概念下，事務所利用了雨水、陽光、風、地熱及植被等自然界元素的力量以產生大樓的能源並減低碳排放量。整棟大樓從屋頂到低樓層以綠植被覆蓋，分散掉直射入內的強烈陽光，而特地自地面上昇的綠地斜坡也包覆住低樓層，不僅創造出獨特的流線外型，更讓低樓層區域更加涼爽舒適。
屋頂使用於綠植被的土壤有效地增加了防熱的效果，大樓內部空間可見到用於結構支撐並來自於阿拉伯文化的六角柱體及柱頂的星狀放射造型，同時也呼應著周遭的叢林景觀。屋頂所收集的雨水經由隱藏在柱體內的水管儲存於地下水槽，可使用在綠植被的灌溉上。而傾斜屋頂的設計在雨水灑下時能混合著微風帶給外部走廊區涼爽的溫度。
為了減少人造光源的使用，事務所籍由電腦模擬的幫助設計出能讓自然光線自屋頂反射而下，同時也是象徵阿拉伯傳統圖型的板狀元素。大樓東西向的橢圓形設計讓外牆照射到陽光的面積儘量減少，環繞著大樓外部的連續上昇斜樓板則提供員工們在外部行走的空間。
工廠大樓最搶眼的應該就屬外立面上垂直覆蓋的藤蔓植被，有效地遮蔽了炙熱的日照，同時大樓的高度也讓各樓層更容易能產生空氣的對流。JST的工廠可說是事務所在結合地景、自然資源及建築設計之間做了最佳的組合。

Ecotone Hotel In Biwako–Sound Of Wind／Ryuichi Ashizawa Arc
This project is an extension of the existing factory, reclaiming ground adjacent to the jungle in Johor, Malaysia. The factories in the 19th century gave priority to rationality and productivity,
so we wanted to transcend the factory typology by incorporating elements that would make the Islamic workers proud of the new working environment they would be facing.
Using the power of nature like rain water, sunlight, the wind, geothermal heat and vegetation, we wanted to minimize the production of harmful low carbon expelled to the environment making of the
building a sustainable factory.
The plan intends to create a large green roof continuous with the ground extending the earth surface covering the lower functions and spaces.
The roof soil works improving greatly the efficiency of the factory space insolation. The space below is structurally arranged by a forest of hexagonal shaped pillars with a star shaped top derived
from the arabesque patterns from Islamic culture, a reference to the surrounding jungle. Rain water that pours down the rooftop is pulled into and underground water storage tank through the pipes
embedded in the pillars being used cyclically for plants watering. When flowing into the pond and the wind blows, the rain water that pours down over the rooftop slope, brings a cold breeze to the
transitorily space between exterior and interior under the roof.
To reduce artificial light as much as possible, the factory is designed to reflect the light that comes from above. Guided by computer simulations, we could predict the amount of skylight reflected
and diffused by a reflection panel that shares its shape with the arabesque patterns.
A multistory building houses the offices, this building aligned with the east-west axis allows for a minimized effect of a solar radiation projected on its outer wall surface. The slab along the
perimeter of the high-rise building is a slope that connects with the ground level a continuous walking path for the workers to practice exercise and improve their health.
The façade is provided with a system of wired with vines, these vines shield from solar radiation by sharping a vertical green wall, this building characteristic. Natural ventilation is carried
through the multistory building to the lower spaces thankfully to its high creating a current of air.
Combining nature into itself and blending with its surroundings it’s the type of factory that can connect with its surroundings and its context.
