Famed Japanese architect Tadao Ando collaborated with Takeo Obayashi to create a unique combination guesthouse and gallery space. The exterior of the Tokyo space is clad in laminated glass panes that reflect light, creating a faint green glow. Inside, platinum-glazed tiles created by Olafur Eliasson frame a courtyard that separates a bar and dining room. The bar features a table and bench designed by Tokujin Yoshioka and a LED optical art piece by Tatsuo Miyajima. The compound has two subterranean gallery spaces where Obayashi houses his collection of works by young Japanese artists, and juxtaposing the contemporary lines throughout the home is a tea ceremony room created by Ko Uehara that was designed after Konnichian, a historic Kyoto tea room.
