Reversible Destiny Lofts https://maps.app.goo.gl/EDWozEyFJ8j7v9ig7. They also have a [web site](https://www.rdloftsmitaka.com). No need to include any photos here; just look up the web site. These are normal appartments, and one can also book short-term stays.
What I like most about this place is its unexpected location in a Tokyo suburb between Nogawa Park and a street with kilometers of car dealerships and other huge stores. Of course, the colours and forms of these buildings, both outside and inside, are incredible.
Not a building recommendation but if you are interested in architecture, you should visit the GA Gallery in Shinjuku and the Ma Gallery (Toto) in Roppongi. There is also a Sou Fujimoto exhibition at the Mori Tower, well worth a visit.
Also check the books series Tokyo Architectural Map.
The [Japan Architecture Map](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/japan-architecture-map/id979836869) app has pretty much every spot I can think of and more.

it’s really more fun if you Google it
Tokyo is not a place you want to go to if you are a fan of architecture.
