Designer Interview
5 August 2018
Japan is a country with many earthquakes.The design has been despised to increase the earthquake resistance of the building.I started designing houses because I wanted to make beautiful cityscapes.
My design studio mainly designs houses and buildings in Tokyo,Japan.
Design is what makes people happy.
I like design that is simple and not decorated.
When I stand at the planned place and imagine the design in my head, I feel creativity.
What I aspects most in design is the relationship between inside and outside of the building.
To succeed in design, to understand the characteristics of the town, the environment of the land, the client's request in detail.
The relationship between inside and outside of the building.
In Japan, the time from building completion to destruction is very short. It will be about 35 years. I am hoping that the building I designed will remain for a long time. I think that it contributes to the environment and society.
I feel that the design of the world is becoming centralization. However, I feel that Japan has many original designs. I am pleased that Japan's unique sensibility will be disseminated to the world.
My last exhibition was February 25, 2015.
My design inspiration is coming from the uniqueness of the land.
I live in Tokyo, Japan. My design is strongly influenced by the climate of Japan.
I live in a house I designed. So, it is the house itself.
Please,proceed the way you believe. Surely it will lead you in a good direction.
It is roughly 6 months to 1 year.
It is the design of the house. Because the project 's demands are different each time.
I develop my designs myself.
Most are e-mail.
