Message

Thank you very much for visiting our website.

Since our founding in 1981, we have been engaged in the architectural design business rooted in Kumamoto for over 40 years, guided by the corporate mission set forth by our predecessor, Shinsuke Imasaka (current Chairman of the Board), of "embracing people, embracing spaces, and designing emotions."
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our predecessors for their passion, and to the local community and all our customers who supported us.

Building on this history and achievements, we have transitioned to a co-representative system, determined to go beyond being just a "design office" and grow into a "company" that continues to create new value for society, and to support the foundations of the local community for the next 100 years.
We will continue to evolve into a "next-generation design office" by combining the principles inherited from our predecessors with pioneering innovation.

As co-representatives, we will continue to utilize our respective strengths and create value as an inspiring space creator that will continue into the next generation, with the aspirations of our predecessors and the trust of our customers in our hearts.
We sincerely hope that you will continue to provide us with your guidance and patronage in the future.
