It is an innovative approach that combines old and new technologies, such as the traditional Japanese traditional construction method that does not use any metal fittings, Ishiba-building and limit strength calculation based on modern structural analysis. The design, composed of horizontal and vertical lines, is highly aesthetic and has been described as attractive structural beauty based on the unique Japanese sense of beauty.

The number of traditional techniques in Japan continues to decline, and it is difficult to maintain them. I am concerned that if this situation continues, craftsmen who can take advantage of the characteristics of wood and traditional techniques that make use of natural materials will be left out of the workforce, and I, as a temple carpenter, am participating in the Architectural Award to pass on traditional techniques and educate people about the potential of wood.

Mochizuki Corporation

We pursue the beauty of the structure and the beauty of use, and respond to the needs of our clients by building houses that are not standardized products, but rather specialize in non-standardized products. We break down the stereotypes of the anachronistic image of the miya carpenter's house, and transform our own traditional techniques and technologies into a stylish design [Evolution of Tradition], which is a one-of-a-kind architecture that combines design and construction.
