Tatsuhiro Nishimoto

After graduating from high school, he became a professional soccer player in Japan at the age of 18, but he became interested in architecture halfway through and studied architecture at a vocational school. He then studied architectural design at various companies and opened an architectural design office in his hometown. Running an architectural firm in the countryside was tough, and he thought about giving up many times, but a stay at the Jetwing Lighthouse in Sri Lanka, which he visited for his studies, gave him courage again. The architecture was designed by Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. He was inspired by this space and is still working hard to design better spaces.
