Maison Hermès
Thanks for the article on Maison Hermès, a notable building. Although you've rewritten the source material, the wording is still very close, and this is discouraged by Wikipedia's guidelines on plagiarism. For example, compare:

"There only 12 stories inside the building, making it hardly a skyscraper; however, the Maison Hermès headquarters maintains a conspicuous charisma in the crowded framework of Tokyo's urban scenery. Per the architect’s design, the small courtyard in the long, narrow rectangular site leads to separate ground-floor entrances for the shop itself, as well as a museum, the Hermès offices, and a subway station below. The surrounding void which rises up the entire 50-meter height of the building creates the vertical shaft that separates the structure into two distinct but identical volumes of glass block." (your text)

with

"At 12 stories, the Maison Hermès is far from a skyscraper, but it maintains a noticeable presence in Tokyo's crowded urban fabric. Piano cleft the long, narrow rectangular site with a small courtyard leading to separate ground-floor entrances to the shop, the Hermès offices, the museum, and the subway station below. The courtyard void rises up the full 50-meter height of the building, creating a vertical shaft separating the structure into two distinctly proportioned volumes clad in glass block."
