Daisan Sukai Biru Architect: Yoji Watanabe Office 1-1-10 Okubo, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo " A 14-storey office and apartmend building, Sky Building Number Three is the work of the eccentric Yoji Watanabe. The lot is narrow but extended in the north-south direction. The units are angled away from the corridor on both sides to give each some southern exposure; the elevators are situated at the norhern end. The silver painted exterior walls and the penthouse give the building the look of a battleship. Watanabe (1923-1983) was born in Niigata, the son of a carpenter. He attended a vocational school, went to work for a stainless steel company, and then, after service in World War II, worked for the Kume Architectural Office. Watanabe entered the studio of Takamasa Yoshizaka and worked on the latter' s Villa Coucou (1956). Opening his own office in 1962, Watanabe made a name for himself with unique entries in high-profile competitions including the one for the Supreme Court Building." source.
