Naka Ku in Nagoya City is a center for future urban development. In order to create a new key landscape in the area, "establishment of a symbolic urban tower residence that achieves harmony with the existing townscape" was set as the theme of the building. The building stands 19 stories tall and makes a strong statement. The overall form emphasizes the sense of stability to ensure harmony with the tranquil residential area in the vicinity. In terms of the color scheme, the design maintains visual stability by dividing the lower levels, which blend in with the green from the trees on the street, and the upper levels, which extend toward the sky, with 2 different color tones to give a lighter feel to the upper levels and a balanced feel to the lower levels.
