About Us
Our Approach
Cultivated. Constructed. Connected.
From landscapes to interiors, our mission is to create memorable spaces of harmony and balance that engage the senses, cultivate connection to nature, and enhance people’s lives. These are the attributes, Japanese in origin and contemporary in practice, that unify our diverse portfolio of aspirational residences, venerable institutions, and landscape projects across the globe.
Our multidisciplinary team works closely with clients to explore options, share ideas, and develop creative designs for the indoor and outdoor spaces where they live. From design to execution, every step of the project is rigorously managed to the client’s time and specific needs, coordinating details and milestones as we chart a linear path to the final reveal.
Our People
