In Ghinza, Tokyo's most prestigious district, an emblematic building has
been constructed for the Shiseido cosmetics firm founded in 1872. This
56-m high tower block display all the manifestations that contribute to
reasserting the firm's image and informing about its future projects. A
staircase links the different floors, recreating the elegant atmosphere
of the former thirties head office. The façade, a symbolic element par
excellence, was meticulously conceived to provide a balanced mixture of
traditional culture and new technology. The program includes a shop, showroom, tearoom, restaurants, art gallery and conference room.associated architect ehsc/es. Elia Taniguchi
