Running parallel to the streets on the east and west, the two wings of the GC building are united by a light grid shell roof, under which stretches a vast atrium that fosters the interaction between office workers and the people from the outside. Like the GC Osaka building, the interior wood finish doubles as fire-protection to reduce overall building material.
