The Watari Museum of Contemporary Art in Shibuya, near Gaienmae Station, was designed by the Swiss architect Mario Botta and opened in September 1990. The article gives no address, client, style, materials or construction dates. The building has six stories.
The first floor holds a museum shop. A glass-walled mezzanine on the third floor overlooks the exhibition rooms, and the fourth floor gives a bird's-eye view of the works displayed below.
The top floors are offices and the owner's residence, so the building serves as both a museum and a home for its owners. The article does not name a style, and it gives no construction dates, materials or address, so the Postmodernism tag here is an assumption. Gaienmae Station is the nearest named landmark.
