This house is located on a hill and the height difference of the land is well utilized to ensure privacy and even lighting. A reinforced concrete structure with high earthquake resistance is adopted, and a glass wall is arranged for a part of it. The living room is an open ceiling and is designed to integrate widely opened space in living room and the courtyard. The second floor of the house offers a view of Himeji Castle, a World Heritage site.

The Exo Towers

The Exo Towers is comprised of two towers and linked together by a 70m-high central glazed atrium. As the digital finance center of the Bank of Ruifeng, the building utilizes an external structural system that greatly reduces the number of columns of the typical floor, creating large and open office space, allowing for the ongoing flexible division of functional layout to cope with the banking business adjustments brought on by new digital challenges. The Exo Towers therefore derives its architectural language from the manner in which the space and structure are completely integrated.

Residential Villa

Oiso Hillside

The architect have taken the shape of the land around the villa as an inspiration, the sensation is that it flows with the scenery, enhancing rather than disturbing it. There is a good translation of those dynamic surroundings inside the villa in a compelling space with skipped floors, soaring a 2-story ceiling over a sunken conversation place and a 3-level deck. The panoramic nature views can be enjoyed from every point of the house. The architect has preferred to use in the interior mainly soft, natural materials like wood and has managed to give his personal touch with few antique pieces.

Murakoshi

An urban house integrating floodwaters into its design. This house with a monolithic facade and a drive-through garage with a high foundation is situated on a pentagonal corner lot that is expected to be crowded with pedestrians. The design features a planar and cross-sectional openness to allow light and wind to flow into the interior while also taking into account the convenience of people and cars while deflecting water. This work explores a simple and sensible approach to future urban housing with a focus on natural disasters.

Riverside 01

Its base is the representation of the movement of the waters of the river, when they meet the waters of the sea! Rhythm and lightness, following the blow of the good winds! The body of the building receives three hundred and sixty degrees of differentiated treatment, that is, in its four facades, according to the solar positioning of each one, through mobile and fixed louvers, vegetation and suitable coatings. On the Rooftop, its green slabs serve as a connection between river, sea and sky.
