A Vibrant Tokyo Building With a Vertical Rainbow Facade



In the heart of Tokyo, a once mundane narrow office building has undergone a radical transformation, emerging as the radiant Vertical Rainbow Office Building designed by SAKO Architects. Breaking free from the surrounding conventional design, this architectural headquarters stands as a testament to creativity, identity, and a splash of vibrant hues.

Gone are the days of a stereotypical “pencil building,” now replaced with the offices of Musashi Paint Holdings Co., Ltd. The bold exterior is a canvas of infinite possibilities, a vertical rainbow that symbolizes the paint company’s commitment to offering a kaleidoscope of color options.

SAKO Architects embraced innovation by utilizing a brand-new, in-house outdoor glass paint on high-transmittance tempered laminated glass for the building’s exterior, creating an Instagram-worthy gradient coating.
