The area consists of a 707 square meter above-ground square and a inner park, built at the level of the fourth floor, which also extends vertically through the interior structure of the building. Sony’s plan is to host events and live performances of all kinds at its headquarters and create more open and accessiblein connection with the concept of the park.
