Omotesando Hills has already become an Omotesando landmark. The residences on its sunny upper floors all offer first-class seats to the magnificent views of the Zelkova trees that line and symbolize the avenue below. Tadao Ando is the architect, who is best known for his use of natural light and because the buildings adapt to the landscape seamlessly. Local residents were first concerned that his style was too modern for the area, but the shopping center is now a landmark of Omotesando. He is a recipient of the Pritzker prize.
