My hand is the extension of the thinking process - the creative process.

I don't believe architecture has to speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in the guise of sunlight and wind

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture.

All architecture has a public nature, I believe, so I would like to make a public space.

Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture.

I create enclosed spaces mainly by means of thick concrete walls. The primary reason is to create a place for the individual, a zone for oneself within society. When the external factors of a city's environment require the wall to be without openings, the interior must be especially full and satisfying.

Working in Tokyo has convinced me that, contrary to what people think, it is actually one of the world's most beautiful cities.
