This temporary structure for HH Style / Armani Casa is tucked away on Cat street, a narrow stretch of shops right off Omotesando Avenue. You can easily miss it walking by, as I almost did last weekend.

Described as a “stealth bomber of a building in folded black steel,” it was built by Tadao Ando, one of Japan’s most celebrated architects, in 2006. It couldn’t get any flossier for a Tokyo office location, so if you happen to be looking for one, check the exchange rate and start counting your Yen.
