Description: Facade of the polyhedral glass building "The Iceberg", WeWork office, located at 6, Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, a sunny Sunday afternoon with blue sky. This building was constructed by the Hong Kong real estate company Velox. The facade facing Meiji-dori street is entirely covered with glass using a blue and metallic interlayer, and the elevator shaft passes vertically through the facade, which is a diagonal combination of glass surfaces with different shapes for each part. The design concept is "crystal that has been thrown into the city of crystal". For its distinctive appearance, it was named "The Iceberg". Audi Forum Tokyo was first resident on the 9th of December 2006 on the first floor and second floors, then, in December 2017, Norges Bank Real Estate Management. Since the 1st of August 2018, the co-working space of WeWork has moved into all floors up to the seventh floor. Above the third floor is a private office.
