Akasaka Intercity, Tokyo

Tokyo master builders have embellished their city with the Akasaka Intercity, a particularly imposing edifice: this 29- storey office and apartment complex has an outer skin of structured TERRART® panels and BAGUETTES, which spans the solid core building like a net and allows limited transparency. The yellow clay tone is restrained and integrates the building in its natural environment. The upper section, which has a smaller floor space, is placed on white columns, giving it a lightweight appearance.
