Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower (completed in 2008) is a 50-storey, 204-metre (669 ft) building located in Tokyo’s distinctive Nishi-Shinjuku high-rise district and contains 3 different schools: Tokyo Mode Gakuen (fashion), HAL Tokyo (IT and digital contents) and Shuto Iko (medical treatments and care). The building’s elliptic shape, wrapped in a criss-cross web of diagonal lines, embodies the “cocoon” concept.
This shape permits more ground space to be dedicated to landscaping at the building’s narrow base, while the narrow top portion of the tower allows unobstructed views of the sky.
