The Copenhagen Concert Hall by Jean Nouvel. Looks best at night when it looks like some sort of sleek ghost building and I love how the interior resembles an inverted walnut.

The House of Depth by Kouichi Kimura uses colour to incorporate some very beautiful and dramatic spaces wrapped in a sleek exterior. Lovely.
