The architects had one condition for their competition designs: the building could not be rectangular. Of the 150 proposals from 50 architects, the winning design was a building shaped like a cocoon from Tange Associates: Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower, which gave a new home to the fashion, information and technology and medical schools. 

Cocoon Tower: Luxury location for students and public

The low-storey building shaped like an egg, which is adjacent to a high tower, houses rooms which can be used both by the schools and the public. They can contain up to 1,000 people and host cultural and educational events.

Each floor of the skyscraper consists of 3 rectangular parts with classrooms, which rotate at an angle of 120° around the inner core. The tower has 50 floors and a height of 204 metres. It is an inspiring environment for students with unlimited views of the sky. The inner core contains the elevators, stairwells and shafts.

On every third floors between the classrooms are three-storey student lounges for relaxation and communication among students, which offer a luxurious space with stunning views of the surrounding city skyline.

Main goal: strengthen the community in Shinjuku

The main goal of the project was to strengthen community. The building is in a location which serves as a gateway between Tokyo’s largest Shinjuku station and the eponymous central commercial district. There are many passages and underpasses which allow freedom of movement for pedestrians.

The luxurious building was designed with respect for the environment. The elliptical shape allows the even distribution of sunlight and the aerodynamic spreading of wind currents. It is the second highest academic building in the world, surpassed only by the State University in Moscow.

Stuffed with luxury and advanced technology

This new model aims to combine the best features of a modern compact yacht and a flybridge yacht. The innovative long yacht measures 27 metres, contains many environmental solutions, superior interior and exterior construction, and was designed and built by Sanlorenzo, whose unique name it proudly bears. The original model has a GRP bull made of carbon fibre. As for the hull, it was tested at the Wageningen tank in Holland for optimal performance at various speeds. The engine unit is based on the Volvo Penta D13-IPS1050, which allows for a top speed of 23 knots.

The open stern meets various requirements and includes a functional garage, a beach club and various sports activities. You can use two areas in the yacht: either the open space or the cabin. The yacht has the highest attainable environmental sustainability thanks to the use of materials and processes with minimum environmental impact.  

Luxury designs to meet your desires

The exterior style was created by Officina Italia Design and features several new elements, such as the open arch allowing for a superstructure of 4.57 m, which partially covers a platform of 30 m2 for swimming. A jet ski can be placed in the water using an integrated crane. The “Skylounge” is another stellar deluxe feature, with a fixed windshield and four long side windows which can be fully rolled down.

Minimalism

The colour palette and materials are fully adapted to suit the owner’s tastes. The furniture was kept in minimalist style, with selected items of Asian and “home” style. Most of the accessories are free-standing.

“The shipyard has to be bold enough to manufacture a similar product. We wanted to create a product for people who love sailing, who love the sea - it is a small revolution,” said Massimo Perotti, CEO of Sanlorenzo.
