Saint Luke's Tower, Twin towers skyscraper in Akashichō, Tokyo, Japan
Saint Luke's Tower is a 51-story skyscraper reaching about 220 meters high, with 4 basement levels, located in central Tokyo. The building contains Saint Luke's International Hospital, office spaces, retail areas, and other facilities spread across its 55 total levels.
The architectural firm Nikken Sekkei completed the structure in 1994, marking a new phase in Tokyo's skyline growth. The project demonstrated how modern towers could successfully combine complex functions like hospitals and commercial operations within one building.
The structure houses a major hospital alongside offices and shops, showing how Tokyo integrates medical care into busy commercial districts. People move between the hospital and office floors throughout the day, making this an unusual mix of healthcare and business activity.
The building offers direct connections to multiple transportation options and is centrally located for easy access. The complex has different areas to explore, ranging from the hospital lobby to retail and office zones that visitors can move through.
The building received recognition for its structural design that separates hospital and commercial operations into distinct sections. This split function required engineers to develop an unusual solution to keep patient traffic and business activity operating independently.
