2013

We have only a few days left in 2013.

The most memorable event this year was winning the first Kyoto Architecture Award for Excellence in early summer.
I traveled to Nanjing as a faculty member for the Architectural Newcomers Competition.
In the fall, I was selected for the SD Review and participated in the event.
Received a five-star award at the International Property Awards and a silver award at the JCD Awards.
JIA Kansai Architect Newcomer Award party.
A double Gold Award at the DFAA (Hong Kong Design Center’s Asia Design Awards) and a business trip to Hong Kong.
We were also invited to several other events such as lectures and critique sessions.

Through several designs, I was also able to interact with various people this year.
I would like to thank the construction companies who are working on construction projects on site and the clients who have been supporting my designs.
We will continue to design hard again next year.
We look forward to working with you again in 2014.

Below are some photos from my visit to Hong Kong.

Exquisite balance of exterior space at the base level, eaves and walls, and interior and exterior spaces

This was my first experience with large scale Zaha architecture and it exceeded my expectations!

The approach through the glass floor is sensual.

The topography and the flow of people are synchronized by natural light.
