Gate Tower Building, Office building in Fukushima-ku, Japan
The Gate Tower Building rises 71.9 meters high with 16 floors and incorporates the Hanshin Expressway through its fifth, sixth, and seventh floors.
The structure, completed in 1992, resulted from a five-year negotiation between property owners and city planners regarding the expansion of transportation infrastructure.
The building represents Japanese engineering innovation by integrating transportation infrastructure with commercial space in response to urban development challenges.
The structure uses noise-proofing materials and external elevator systems to maintain normal office operations while accommodating the expressway passage.
The Hanshin Expressway passes through three floors without physical contact with the building, supported by independent pillars adjacent to the structure.
