    The Kawakyu Hotel in Shirahama, Japan located on the Pacific Ocean offers ocean views from nearly every room. Architect Yuzo Nagata designed the hotel with a traditional clay brick facade that provides flexibility in texture, color, and stability. During the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake which registered a 7.2 on the Richter scale, the brick facade supported by Halfen HK4 brackets suffered no damage, demonstrating the seismic stability of the design. Halfen is proud to have supplied supports for this award-winning building's unique brick facade.
