Nissan Crossing's interior design uses spirals as a predominant motif, symbolically expressing the sensations and experiences of customers as they journey from the past through the present and into the future. The unique spiral-based design changes colors depending on the season, time of day, or ongoing special events. This means the space itself is constantly evolving. Nissan Crossing's complex construction was made possible by applying the latest digital processes used in automotive design.
Nissan Crossing's Virtual Façade — an innovative exterior display composed of LED lights embedded in glass surfaces along the second floor of the building — ensures that it will stand out when viewed from the street. The façade's lights will change color organically, lighting up the streets of Ginza.
