Conservation and restoration project of a bank with brick facades built in 1914 on a part of the Sawara Traditional Building Preservation District in Katori City, Chiba Prefecture.
The brick walls were reinforced with tensioning PC steel rods that penetrate the walls vertically to be earthquake resistant and maintain the designs of its interior and exterior at the same time since the building has been designated as a tangible cultural property of Chiba Prefecture. Its slate roofing, service counter tables, fireplaces and spiral staircases were also restored.
