A Tokyo and Shanghai based design studio established by architects Kojima Shinya and Kojima Ayaka.

The contemporary society has become overloaded with information, and we are considerate through our projects to revive the superficial human relationships and the faded local characteristics. Even starting with just a humble local identity, we thrive to create a space to gather and generate a larger sustainable and reliable economy.

In addition, by questioning the homogenized materiality and uniform streets as a result of mass production, we aim to carry on and express the beauty and craftsmanship that is particular to that region through incorporating materials and details that can inherit its local climate and cultural background.
We also operate a renovation brand “ichijo-toma” with the theme of designing for “comfortable and beautiful Japanese lifestyle”.
