As the year comes to an end, OTIIMA highlights a curated selection of projects that best represent the values we worked with. Editor’s Choice 2025 brings together projects that stand out for their design, technical demands, and intelligent use of windows in different architectural contexts.
From cultural buildings to private residences, these projects reflect a shared approach to architecture: precision, performance, and a strong relationship between space and light.
Osaka Pavilion | Kengo Kuma & Associates
The Osaka Pavilion was conceived as an immersive architectural space where movement and transparency are essential. The project explores openness through large glazed surfaces that guide circulation and connect interior spaces with the surrounding environment.
The integration of high-performance glazing supports the architectural concept and the functional requirements of a public building, ensuring comfort, durability, and visual continuity.
