About Taro SHIMOKAWA
Taro Shimokawa creates architecture that is both “ordinary and special,” blending Japanese tradition with contemporary design. His work balances universality and individuality, offering spaces where people find small joys in daily life. Drawing on experience in France, he fuses traditional Japanese techniques with Western design, using natural materials like domestic timber and plaster. His buildings age beautifully over time. Actively involved in education, he nurtures future architects. As a father of two who took childcare leave, he applies this perspective to childcare facilities and housing. Fluent in French, he also engages in international projects.
