House under the Olive tree
The ancient olive tree in the garden was a long-held dream of the owner. From the moment they stepped onto the property, it was love at first sight.

How can an educational space interact with children: Child-Centered Interior Design Renovation, Kindergarten ‘SunnySide’
The project involves the complete renovation of a house into a kindergarten.

Spiritual Boundaries in an Urban Tea Room
The tea room is located within a condominium in Tokyo, situated at a busy intersection with a large opening facing the crossroads. While the glass walls are advantageous for commercial use, they pose challenges for a tea ceremony space due to their high visibility and limited soundproofing.

Veron The Shop
The Veron shop occupies a former garage within a central building owned by the client’s family since its construction.

We found an equivalent for happiness through the concept of the sun, which provides light, warmth, and cheerfulness, just like a sunny day. The sun, symbolizing happiness, is represented through light. Behind a yellow glass brick wall - the color of the sun, happiness, and optimism - LED bars create an image reminiscent
