• Architect: SANAA
• Year: 2004

First stop on our architecture stroll (tokyo edition)
we have Dior Omotesando store by SANAA,a Toyko based
architecture firm. The firm is known for its clean & shiny
modernist designs with lots of glass facades and marble.

The building itself isn't that noticiable actually.
I was walking on the other side if the streets and there
were trees blocking my view of the building.
The plaid pattern on the facade was probably an add on
to go along with their new collection, but to me, that was
the most eye catching part of the architecture.

I recommend visiting there at night, because
I heard it is more beautiful when the building
lights up with different intensities on each floor.
That's when you can really see the trasparency of the glass
and the translucent wavy acrylic screen that adds to the texture.
