Frontage looks great..but too bad the side profile is bland. 7/10

Cliff · December 6th, 2003, 02:11 AM

Its not ugly, but also not stunning, I give it a 7/10

dom · January 12th, 2004, 05:35 PM

having only seen this building twice - and both of those occasions at night i will have to give it a 7.

it looks good at night, havent seen it during the day yet.

its just soooo far outside the centre of osaka - right near the airport...same with the cosmotower....i wish in osaka theyd just cluster their towers in namba and umeda - it would give osaka far more grandeur!

i might go and have a looksie at it tommorrow.

is a different, original skyscraper, I like the smooth buildings 7/10

this building's facade's rather dull, and it looks too flat and rigid from some angles, but i think it'll look better if they put it in downtown osaka instead by itself in a satellite town.

6/10

Not bad. Its boxy, worse than if it was a box because then it would at least have clean lines. Instead the multiple boxes that play off each other. Still pretty good, and interesting, also thin in a good way. As everyone pointed out, bad location. Are/Were they thinking that this area would be developed sometime soon? Also what is its usage?

A bit plain.

The overhanging bit on the roof is good, but it's only a small feature. The rest is just plain ordinary.

Chibcha2k · October 30th, 2004, 09:20 PM

It appears to be 2 boxes stuck together, 5.5/10

MattSal · March 18th, 2005, 04:01 AM

Never heard of this one, but it looks positively ghastly. I give it a 4.5/10.
