8/10
DamienK January 9th, 2003, 01:58 PM 8/10. I like the tops.
RafflesCity January 11th, 2003, 12:49 AM 8/10
A bit too squarish but the 3 towers create an interesting and smart profile.
De Snor January 23rd, 2003, 11:20 PM massive buiding with great tops
mookiecece January 24th, 2003, 12:51 AM one of my favs in tokyo, 9/10
Wu-Gambino January 24th, 2003, 06:00 AM 5/10
Wow, that is way too gaudy.
Muse January 24th, 2003, 07:42 AM Busy at the top and that Tange mass of bare and dull stonework that he loves.
The interior and plaza areas look much more sensational. Nice @ night too.
Not a big fan of Tange's. :(
7.5
1+2=3 February 15th, 2003, 01:20 AM The idea to 'link' the towers was pretty bad I think. 5/10
Pablo February 19th, 2003, 05:55 PM very nice building 8/10..i like its top;)
BMXican February 28th, 2003, 02:58 PM one of my favorites - 9/10
renell February 28th, 2003, 06:29 PM 7 the top is cool but besides that nothing more special
The Messiah March 7th, 2003, 09:49 PM Really like the tops.!
Nice threesome;) 8.0/10
bay_area March 10th, 2003, 06:37 PM I actually stayed at the Park Hyatt when I last went to Tokyo-its a great hotel!
As far as the building goes-I like it a lot. Excellent signature, the terraced rooftop is cool and the color scheme is fitting.
Venezuelacom March 11th, 2003, 04:02 AM pretty weird desing, I'll give 8/10
Evergrey April 10th, 2003, 05:40 PM 6.5 I don't know... I think I would like it better it was merely one building... looks a bit funny like that
Wisma April 15th, 2003, 12:43 PM Yeah awesome. Nice tops. :okay:
Jase Calvin April 16th, 2003, 10:01 PM It's interesting ... it takes some getting used to. At least with three "connected towers" like this, it's a change from the usual rectangular slab that it otherwise would have been. 6/10.
AG April 17th, 2003, 04:51 AM I love the tops of the building, and the way it has three towers joined together of different heights.

ryanr September 6th, 2003, 01:20 PM :eek: I cant believe i havent rated this one. One of my favorites in the world...it has everything, design, great facade,etc...10/10
Patrick September 11th, 2003, 10:06 PM facade: can be better
form: one single tower would be better, or the lower part should be on the other side of the higher part
points: 6
SeeMacau September 12th, 2003, 08:06 AM 8/10
I like the top part
airsickpenthousedweller October 24th, 2003, 01:27 PM Effective design.
7.5/10
Liz L October 28th, 2003, 03:22 AM 7.5/10 - The roofs actually seem to flow from the rest of the towers, the different heights of the towersand the gradual change from stone to glass on the way up provide variety, and the indentations not only provide contrast but help give the towers some height and make them less boxy than they'd otherwise be.
Now if they could only do something about that cotton'pickin' antenna acne....And maybe vertical mullions instead of spandrels might have given them even better height.

Zuelas September 30th, 2004, 07:17 AM 5.5
hmmm, I don't care for it
Maybe if it were directly on the water or something. Looks like it should compliment- not dominate- its surroundings. Would look better as one tower- perhaps one very tall one. The lighting and lobby colors are kinda tacky as well......
Monkey November 3rd, 2004, 09:56 PM Interesting crown and top.
The overall colour seems a bit drab though - it looks a bit 60s/70s, even though it was built in 1994.

MattSal March 20th, 2005, 05:19 AM Possibly overdesigned, but still awesome. Gotta love those setbacks. I give it a 9/10. :okay:
Pengui April 30th, 2005, 05:57 PM That's possibly my favorite tower in Japan.
Although it's quite broad, it manages not to look overwhelming nor too boxy.
It looks great at night, and the podium is good as well.

Scruffy88 January 9th, 2006, 01:57 AM 4/10 Take away the crowns and its just ugly piled on top of ugly being hosed down by some ugly. the crowns don't seem to fit the shaft of the towers at all in some pics and the crowns themselves which desperatly cry to be on a better building aren't doing much for me anyways. The only thing it sorta has going for it is that its instantl recognizable as Tokyo.
