Philosopy
We believe that architecture is full of dreams and thoughts, and at the same time it means a solid and rich space that incorporates “era”, “society”, and ”environment”. We strive to appropriately realize the wishes of our clients by questioning the meaning of space and comprehensively understanding the various intentions of each project.
[Thought]
Thoughts represent thinking and consciousness that arise from within, such as will, goals, and desires, and are an element that greatly influences human behavior and decisions, and also play an important role in human relationships and social life. . Thoughts are the source of inspiration for designing architecture.
[Era]
Time continues to flow. An era represents a period of time that has characteristics regarding continuous thinking.
Anyone can share their thoughts.
[Society]
Many people come together and connect to form one communal space. In our design activities, we are constantly thinking about how we can contribute to the community of society and how we can support everyone's approach to society.
[Environment]
The environment that surrounds us is a necessary element for our survival. The natural environment, such as climate, topography, water quality, soil, and plants, as well as the social environment, such as the organizations and customs that direct our actions and lives, are constantly changing and impacting us. We aim to create spaces where architecture becomes part of the environment, merging with cities, towns, and nature to form landscapes.
[Okayama]
We are based in Okayama and conduct our daily activities.
The people, city, and nature of Okayama are unique to us.
We will continue to cherish our feelings toward our "hometown of Okayama" and work hard every day to disseminate information from Okayama to other regions.
Our goal is to create an architectural space (environment) by incorporating and fusing the “time” ”society” and “environment” with everyoneʼs “thoughts” as the source. We would like to be a design group that repeatedly approaches and discerns the essence of everyone's thoughts, and asks how we can materialize them into spaces (environments).
