Description:
CDI (Creative Designers International) is an architectural and interior design office which was founded by Benjamin Warner in 1993. They refer to the building as The Iceberg; a unique building of triangulated glass panels located in Harajuku. It is currently occupied as an Audi Automobiles showroom (in the street level retail space) and Audi offices. This skyscraper has a complex geometry which reflects light from all angles with silver interlayers in the glass on oblique angled sections.
