Led by architect Aki Ishida, our studio believes following components are necessary for a successful project: the client's vision for their organization or personal life (and intended purpose for the space), distinct material and lighting sensibilities developed over years of study and experimentation and a high creative standard set by collaborating with top designers and engineers so that each product is outstanding in every dimension. Our skilled process is based on communication--asking the right, careful questions then translating clients' words into architectural space. This continual conversation involves the client every step of the way. By remaining committed to the client, each project results its own unique creative course. With a reputation of high quality and unique sensibilities, we are able to draw on an exclusive pool of talent to deliver new, refreshing designs. When the best designers collaborate, the results demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of the relationship between materiality and spatial experience.
