Mihoko Koyama and her daughter, Hiroko Koyama, commissioned the architect I. M. Pei to design the Miho Museum. I. M. Pei's design, which he came to call Shangri-La, is executed in a hilly and forested landscape.[14] Approximately three-quarters of the 17,400 square meter building is situated underground, carved out of a rocky mountaintop.[15] The roof is a large glass and steel construction, while the exterior and interior walls and floor are made of a warm beige-colored limestone from France – the same material used by Pei in the reception hall of the Louvre. The structural engineer for this project was Leslie E. Robertson Associates.
Pei continued to make changes to the design of the galleries during construction as new pieces were acquired for the collection.[16]
Pei had earlier designed the bell tower at Misono,[17] the international headquarters and spiritual center of the Shumei organization. The bell tower can be seen from the windows of the museum.
