It also creates an opportunity for patrons to see and be seen in a way that is rare in Ginza, a district where most facades are formal and closed."</p> <p>The panels which are used for building facades are crafted from a single piece of plate aluminium. &nbsp;This aluminium plate was folded, welded and powder coated and then it was fixed to a bespoke metal substructure.</p> <p>{googleAdsense}</p> <p>The studio said, &ldquo;The panel system acknowledges traditional Japanese forms but repurposes them to create a permeable skin that welcomes the community in and contributes to the social atmosphere of the neighbourhood."</p> <p>The Klein Dytham Architecture created a facade design inspired by traditional sukashibori latticework. Sukashibori is an openwork decoration made from various techniques in&nbsp;metalworking.</p>
