His work balances universality and individuality, offering spaces where people find small joys in daily life. Drawing on experience in France, he fuses traditional Japanese techniques with Western design, using natural materials like domestic timber and plaster. His buildings age beautifully over time. Actively involved in education, he nurtures future architects. As a father of two who took childcare leave, he applies this perspective to childcare facilities and housing. Fluent in French, he also engages in international projects.
STATEMENT OF ART:Aiming to Be Ordinary and Special
"Amane" means covering everything. "Ordinary" refers to something commonplace, while "universal" applies without exception.
Architecture strives to be both, yet becomes unique by embracing diverse lifestyles and expressing individual feelings.
Through dialogue with clients, we capture these sentiments, refine every detail, and create something unique to its time and place. When this spirit permeates fully, architecture naturally becomes ordinary and special, existing as a matter of course.
