We believe a greater empathy with nature will improve our inner-urban lives so our architecture exists in harmony with the planet and the people who live and work on it.
Drawing inspiration from the environment, the practice strives for purity and organic forms. Tall buildings can touch the earth lightly and humble homes can be powerful vessels for positive change.
Koichi Takada Architects is global in reach but local in sensibility. Our emotive spaces are sensitive to their surrounds and reflect the human spirit through elegant and thoughtful designs. They are born of a deep empathy and curiosity that is integral to all we do, and pushes our practice forward every day.
Form follows nature. A kinetic architecture for living. We are one with people and the planet. We are one with the world.
