This one looks very good but do you have any closeups of it?

SUNNI · December 9th, 2002, 04:14 AM

tall, and looks like it stands out from any angle!
nice design, and colour 9

DamienK · December 9th, 2002, 08:04 AM

Nothing outstanding about the design. . . but a good effort 7.5/10

SteelCity32 · December 9th, 2002, 09:03 PM

tall, it's just "there"
7/10

simple and unoffensive, but not too special.

This has hulk and height. I also like its cheese-grater windows

Chibcha2k · December 11th, 2002, 02:18 AM

9 I like it!

Liz L · December 11th, 2002, 04:05 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.

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, 08:50 AM

7.5/10 - the facade is too white... would look nicer if it was more of a greyish colour

JacobRit · December 11th, 2002, 03:07 PM

someone pass me the sick bag, no effort gone into this design at all

***SeeMacau*** · December 18th, 2002, 12:48 AM

9 / 10
Nice Design

Caledon1981 · December 18th, 2002, 03:54 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, 05:49 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

mmmmm alright I guess...

Wu-Gambino · December 22nd, 2002, 04:16 PM

6/10

Not impressive, too bland.

Jeff from Winnipeg · December 23rd, 2002, 07:36 AM

It's ok. Needs some more texture but not that bad ->7/10
