Mikimoto

Mikimoto Ginza 2 is a flagship jewelry store by Toyo Ito. The façade is composed of an irregular pattern of openings in a white surface, resembling a field of perforations that varies with scale and depth. This porous skin balances display with privacy while giving the building an abstract identity among Ginza’s storefronts. The result is a sculptural retail box where elevation becomes the primary architectural event.
