Sunflower December 8th, 2002, 11:47 PM This one looks very good but do you have any closeups of it?
SUNNI December 9th, 2002, 05:14 AM tall, and looks like it stands out from any angle!
nice design, and colour 9
DamienK December 9th, 2002, 09:04 AM Nothing outstanding about the design. . . but a good effort 7.5/10
SteelCity32 December 9th, 2002, 10:03 PM tall, it's just "there"
7/10
Pablo December 10th, 2002, 05:06 AM oh it is just ok for me
7/10
heirloom December 10th, 2002, 03:00 PM 7.5/10
simple and unoffensive, but not too special.
RafflesCity December 11th, 2002, 01:53 AM 8/10
This has hulk and height. I also like its cheese-grater windows:D
Chibcha2k December 11th, 2002, 03:18 AM 9 I like it!
Liz L December 11th, 2002, 05:05 AM 7/10 - I like the contrast provided by the blue glass racing up along the corners, and the strips of glass on the sides.
However, the rest of the stone or concrete facade is bland and boxy, and once again, those cheese grater windows....
It could have used a few setbacks, and more glass on the sides.
AG December 11th, 2002, 06:10 AM The facade is very unique compared to facades of other buildings. The shape is nothing to be proud of though.
8/10
invincible December 11th, 2002, 09:50 AM 7.5/10 - the facade is too white... would look nicer if it was more of a greyish colour
JacobRit December 11th, 2002, 04:07 PM someone pass me the sick bag, no effort gone into this design at all
SeeMacau December 18th, 2002, 01:48 AM 9 / 10
Nice Design
Caledon1981 December 18th, 2002, 04:54 AM could go either way for me .. . but the age of this tower divided by the effort of design comes out to be .6 . . or 6/10
Muse December 22nd, 2002, 06:49 AM There are so many 10 storey office blocks in Tokyo that look like this, only this is tall, especially the top ten floors.
Too much bare "wall of skin". Needs some "dressing up".
Cookie cutter and pokey.
A kind 6
Noonos December 22nd, 2002, 10:13 AM mmmmm alright I guess...
Wu-Gambino December 22nd, 2002, 05:16 PM 6/10
Not impressive, too bland.
Jeff from Winnipeg December 23rd, 2002, 08:36 AM It's ok. Needs some more texture but not that bad ->7/10
De Snor January 23rd, 2003, 11:42 PM it misses something to impress me
DrumCorpsAlum February 24th, 2003, 04:15 AM It's okay, just doesn't jump out at me. 7.5/10.
BMXican February 28th, 2003, 02:35 PM one of the few "fat" skyscrapers that I like - 8/10
The Messiah March 7th, 2003, 10:52 PM Nothing intresting.. Quite plain to me
6.5/10
Evergrey April 10th, 2003, 04:42 PM 4 It's average from some angles... and absolutely hideous from others
MiCH April 10th, 2003, 08:14 PM It's cool. 8.5/10
Jase Calvin April 17th, 2003, 08:00 AM I gave this a 5.5/10. It's okay but something you get sick of quickly. The concrete walls are too bland.

David3820 September 1st, 2004, 05:36 PM It doesn't impress me and looks to much on the ugly side in the daytime. 7/10
Monkey November 6th, 2004, 01:10 AM As with many of Tokyo's buildings, this looks cool at night, but rather dreary by day. Its surroundings look horrible and the tower does little to enhance the area. Very little thought seems to have gone into its design, just a few bits tacked on here and there, nothing at all innovative.
5.5 overall.

7.5/10
Medo March 7th, 2005, 07:36 AM 7/10 it has aged well
MattSal March 20th, 2005, 05:19 AM Good, but seems to be missing something. The facade could be better too. I give it a 7.5/10.
Pengui April 30th, 2005, 04:53 PM Dull. The changes in the windows pattern seem too random to manage some improvement. Although it's not great, the night look is kinda futuristic, which saves it from a complete flop.
3.5

I like a lot the glassy facade on the building's corner.The stone facade is a bit bland.

Pictures don't do justice to this building. It may looks a bit simple and ordinary, but actually a lot of design has been put to it.
