Looking back the starting point of doing architecture, it was a newly built house of my family.
I was a curious child and followed the carpenter all day from excavation, foundation and completion of framework to interior finishing. Firstly a plasterer was my dream job, then a carpenter and finally I decided to take a path of being an architect.

Many years have passed since then, but the process of creating forms has been still exciting moment for me. I will do my best to design “even more pleasant space” from Kyoto to the world. My hobby is playing golf, mountaineering, DIY and collecting stones.
