Walls of around 7,000 platinum-glazed ceramic tiles in a courtyard by Olafur Eliasson enclose the courtyard.
Combining his distinctive minimalist style with the work of designers and architect Tadao Ando, they created an unusual guesthouse and gallery space in Tokyo for Takeo Obayashi.
Ando’s signature spare, concrete-and-glass spaces are punctuated in the middle of the N-shaped plan by Eliasson’s 7 000 platinum-glazed ceramic tiles, their surfaces changing in color and intensity depending upon the conditions of light.
