Nishi-Shimbashi Square, Office skyscraper in Nishi-Shinbashi, Japan.
Nishi-Shimbashi Square is a 22-story office building with exterior columns and a double-skin curtain wall design that maximizes usable interior space. The structure includes three underground levels and provides approximately 55,000 square meters of floor area.
The building was completed in 2014 on the site of the former Nippon Oil Corporation headquarters. The location sits near the historical position of an Edo period outer moat.
The interior spaces blend Japanese design elements including stone surfaces and traditional lattice patterns that give the common areas a local character.
The building sits conveniently near Tokyo's major transportation hubs, making it easy to reach by public transport. The underground levels offer additional access points and facilities for visitors.
The structure uses domestically sourced timber and advanced environmental systems to reduce its carbon footprint in the urban landscape. This sustainable approach is uncommon among modern Tokyo office towers.
