Nippon Express Headquarters Building, Corporate skyscraper in Shiodome, Japan.
Nippon Express Headquarters Building is a tall office tower in the Higashi-Shinbashi district that stretches upward with clean lines and a glass facade. The structure dominates the local skyline and houses numerous corporate workspaces arranged across many levels.
The building was completed in June 2003 through a partnership between architect Richard Rogers Partnership and Japanese builder Kajima Corporation. It emerged during a period of rapid redevelopment in Tokyo's commercial districts.
The building represents Japanese corporate architecture through its integration of efficient workspace design and structural engineering principles.
The building sits in a central location with easy access to multiple train and subway stations in the area. Its position near major transit hubs makes it simple to reach by public transportation.
The facade is designed to allow daylight deep into the building while minimizing heat loss through its transparent yet insulating system. This balance between openness and energy efficiency gives the structure its distinctive appearance.
