PROFILE:
Only by eliminating excessive adornments can the essence of a space be seen. In order to improve the interaction between human and the environment, we considered the unique characteristics of the space and the client’s requests. It is our belief that luxury is never a prerequisite of a good space. Rather, we define space as the reintegration of people with their surroundings and by the countless stories that are waiting to be told. Driven by a central concept while guided by client’s requests and the essence of space, we created a place full of stories, through which the client’s individuality can shine through.

The ingenuity and sensitivity to both form and function present in the award-winning project "Engawa" is truly inspiring. By embracing the traditional Japanese architectural concept of engawa, the design brilliantly navigates the challenge of blending interior with exterior spaces, thereby enhancing familial interaction within a residential setting. The thoughtful consideration in creating middle rooms that serve as transitional spaces not only for physical movement but also for interaction, storage, and various activities, speaks volumes about the depth of research and understanding of spatial dynamics. Moreover, the strategic use of structural elements to define and yet blur boundaries showcases a masterful approach to addressing modern living needs while paying homage to traditional insights. This project serves as a testament to the power of design in transforming living spaces into more interactive, functional, and meaningful environments. The ability to integrate such a unique property while addressing design challenges with innovative solutions is commendable.
