The new 'Swatch' flagstore is designed by Shigeru Ban and based in Tokyo's Ginza district. There is not really a door visible but the 4 floors are visible from the outside. The building is divided in 4 parts but contains 14 floors which are all smoothly integrated when going from one floor to the other by using different materials. It is real architecture, a project about volume, spatial complexity, and experimentation. But it is more than just a building right in the centre of Tokyo, it also has a hanging garden spread out over 13 floors.
Worth a visit by the looks of it!
