Outline

The Midland Square commercial wing is composed of 40 shops located around a 5-story atrium. A transparent elevator and diagonally placed escalators stimulate active traffic flow. The exterior features glass curtain walls that offer passers-by glimpses of the lively interior space, and the result is a refreshing and artful contrast with the surrounding buildings. The interior uses stones and wood for a calm and elegant sensibility. A sunken garden adjacent to the basement floor of the building acts as a pedestrian walk and helps to connect the building with Nagoya Station and other structures in a safe yet highly interactive manner.
