Special Features of New Building |
|
- Gate tower symbolizing
the future of Marunouchi
Marunouchi reborn. Time and space are newly
conceptualized through the adoption of a
uniquely designed fa_ade and gate tower
that symbolize the birth of a city of the
future.
|
|
- Advanced, High-quality
Business Functionality
Each floor will have approximately 2,800m2
of floor space, a ceiling height of 2.8m
and OA-friendly flooring raised 15cm. The
architectural design avoids the use of interior
supports so as to provide wide-open space
that enables freedom and flexibility for
office configuration, and meeting tenants'
needs for a building capable of satisfying
the increasingly diversified demands of
the growing global business environment.
|
|
- Construction of Pedestrian
Walkways
Passageways will run north-south and east-west
intersecting throughout the district, highlighted
by special walkways to connect pedestrians
commuting between Tokyo Station, Tokyo International
Forum and Yurakucho. In addition, a roomy,
expansive outdoor promenade with a lower
level restaurant and commercial zone, directly
connecting the JR Keiyo Line concourse,
will provide improved convenience and safety
to all building tenants.
|
|
- Consideration for the Environment
The utmost effort will be placed on reducing
negative environmental impact and promoting
coexistence with nature through the efficient
use of energy, reutilization of resources,
reduction of wastes in term of both weight
and volume, and the effective greening of
open public areas. |
