同潤会青山アパート

I was reading about these apartments on Omotesando near Aoyama and came across this website. It dawned on me that I have a picture taken there back in April 2000 because I just really love the look and location of it. So while I looked for that picture, my husband helped me take out the bulky, dusty scanner to bring you this image I was thinking of all day:

I wonder how those buildings look now. Did they take out all the vines that were growing so nicely while remodeling (or were they torn down?) to match the look of Omotesando Hills or? The last time I was there, in March 2005, I don't remember seeing any leaves and the whole street was boarded up with some kind of construction work going on. It was drizzling, cold and a bit gloomy. I must go back to take a look next time.

Here is a site with some more pictures of the old Doujunkai Aoyama Apartment.

It would be nice if those apartments are fully furnished and available for rent on a monthly basis.

Those were the apartments that were torn down to build Omotesando Hills. There was a lot of protest about it. I liked those old apartments but they were really old so...

Oh, no. That's sad! I thought they were just rebuilding them and not demolishing it. Does Omotesando Hills need to be so big?
