Hayato Ishii
Japan (JP)
What we value most is the dialogue with the builder. What is important to you when you build a house? What kind of life do they want to lead there? By discussing these questions at length, we propose designs that we believe are the best for the client. 1.the designer is the voice that embodies the client's wishes. Many people experience home building only once in their lifetime. Therefore, they hardly know how to proceed. We organize the vague wishes of the client, and reflect them in the plan by drawing out unconscious behaviors that the client may not even be aware of. During the construction phase, many clients are at a loss as to how to communicate with the contractors. It is extremely difficult for the general public to talk on the same level with the construction professionals, the construction business operators and house builders. In such cases, we act as a representative of the client to accurately convey the client's intentions to the construction contractor. 2.take care of the drawings. Building a building is a big challenge and requires a lot of money. We understand that you must have a lot of anxiety. That is why we try to resolve the concerns of the client with the use of drawings. We will clearly show the solution to the client's request using drawings. Without accurate drawings, a good building will never be built. In construction, drawings are the only means of communicating requests to the contractor. We value the drawings and carefully create them. 3.We do not build houses only for their coolness. People often think that houses built by design firms are cool but difficult to use, or cool but expensive. However, we believe that good design is a state in which function, cost, and design are well balanced. We believe that a design that is cool but difficult to use or cool but expensive is not really good design. External coolness will always deteriorate over time. We aim to create meaningful spaces by thinking carefully about the people who will use the space and imagining how they will use it and how they will lead their way.

He is fascinated by the transitory yet intense beauty of the ever-changing, fleeting scenes that nature produces. He finds the atmospheric optical phenomena contained in these scenes and reconstructs them through 'materials' and 'structures'. It creates a spatial experience that we have never experienced before. He consistently faces the mystique of light, while at the same time keeping in mind the 'Atmosphere.' those drifts from the work. The Atmosphere is created by harmonising the work and the environment surrounding it. The artwork serves as a medium to bring the spectacle of nature closer to us.
