Japanese Embassy, Hexagone Building

Miyamoto International visited the Hexagone Building in Pétionville to visually assess the earthquake damage resulting from the 7.0-M earthquake on January 12, 2010, and subsequent aftershocks. The Hexagone Building is an eight-story office building with five levels of below-grade parking. The building is rectangular in shape and is situated on a sloping site on which the grade slopes approximately 10 feet from the east end to the west end of the building. The structure was constructed using standard local construction standards and practices, which consist of cast-in-place (CIP) concrete and hollow concrete block (HCB).
