Tallest Building on the Internet

ClientMitsubishi Electric
RoleArt Director, Concept

Mitsubishi Electric needed a lead-generating website that put their game-changing building solutions top of mind for commercial developers. So we built them the internet’s tallest building, a stand-out, informative, bottom-up scrolling site that promoted their products in a way that had never been done.

To bring the idea into the real world, we commissioned a LEGO architect to build a physical version of the tower, brick by brick. It toured trade shows as a literal, standing proof of concept of the idea.
