greeting

One of the reasons I got into the world of architecture was when I was a child, when I saw a line drawing of a building, I was surprised that the building was made of lines. After that, while studying architecture and visiting various buildings, I learned that a rich space is created not only by the history of the surrounding environment and places, but also by the behavior of the people who actually use it. I'm still impressed by the fact that abstract lines and objects eventually form the field. I myself have been blessed with various jobs such as interior design of private residences, villas, nurseries, offices and museums, and I have provided a place where the space can actually be set up with many people. Especially when I started working, spending time with teachers and seniors who draw hand-drawn drawings was an irreplaceable experience.

The times have advanced, and the terms architecture and space have appeared in the world in ambiguous ways, and their roles are changing. I hope that through my future work, I will be able to contribute to society and the color of my daily life, albeit with little effort.

What I cherish now

Being with the surrounding environment

Buildings may have the power to change the world around them on their own, but in many cases buildings are with the land and its surroundings. We would like to have an architecture that incorporates the characteristics of the place and physical and emotional elements such as light and wind.

 

Be honest with the behavior and scale of the user

Because the beauty of the margins without a user is attractive, I would like to value the sense of scale that is close to the behavior. I have learned from many people that the stacking of small dimensions that are close to people constitutes one building, and I would like to remember it.

 

With wind and light

I remember that many of the buildings that impressed me so far had the wind passing through lightly, casting the shadow of delicate light. I want to be conscious of the light and shadow that spills from the windows into the room, and the materials and materials that transfer them.
