Herman Hertzberger took his talents all the way from the Netherlands to Japan when he constructed the YKK Dormitory from 1991-1998.  Like most of his projects, this was an open floor style building.  It has lots of natural sunlight, and plentiful space throughout the building.  As you can see in the picture above, Hertzberger once again used sky bridges to connect rooms throughout the building.  Because it was designed in the 90s you can see modern influences in its design.  It serves of the YKK employees dorm, and is located close to the town centre.  This makes is easy for residents to walk to the store.  The YKK dormitory has only made life easier for the YKK employees.
