A commercial complex facing Aoyama-dori near Omotesando Station in Tokyo (former site of Kinokuniya supermarket). The shape of the tower is wedge-shaped in consideration of shade and building wind. The exterior walls are air-flow double-skin curtain walls, and at night, the building is illuminated by high-intensity full-color LED lights built into the perimeter. The low-rise section on the west side facing a residential area is a stepped garden.
