The delivered office elevators feature mirror ceilings that project an endless reflection of lights. The escalators feature skirt guard LED lighting for the office entrance art installation.

3. Urban Core vertical axis conduit to support mobility

Shibuya topography has a distinct difference in elevation. To overcome this difference, the building features the Urban Core, a six-story vertical atrium built between the second basement floor and the fourth floor above ground. Fujitec delivered our 10 escalators to the Urban Core. This atrium functions as a pedestrian network that enhances vertical movement and circulation to and from other areas.
