Completely Free-design and Custom-built House
We believe that a home should be more than just a structure; it should be a sanctuary that reflects your unique style while standing the test of time. Our approach to timeless design combines functionality, beauty, and sustainability, ensuring that your home is not only visually stunning but also practical and enduring.
Our designs are tailored to your preferences, seamlessly integrating traditional Japanese architecture with modern aesthetics. We prioritize functionality without sacrificing beauty, creating spaces that enhance your lifestyle and resonate with your personal taste.
We are proud to promote buildings that adhere to the principles of ZEH (Net Zero Energy House). This sustainable approach minimizes your carbon footprint while maximizing energy efficiency, ensuring your home is environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
In Japan, safety is paramount, especially when it comes to earthquakes. All our buildings are designed with advanced seismic retrofitting techniques, providing you with peace of mind. With years of experience and mature solutions, we ensure that your home is resilient against seismic events, so you can focus on what truly matters—your family.
Usually, earthquake-resistant boards were used to add shear walls around the pillars of the load-bearing part of the second floor, and earthquake-resistant hardware was installed at the joints of the existing columns, beams, and bracing to improve seismic performance.
The diagrams below show an example of the renovation.

It is possible to improve the earthquake resistance of houses built before the earthquake resistance upgrade by replacing the tile roofs with lighter materials such as metal roofs.
If you change from a tile roof to a metal roof, the weight of a single house can be reduced by more than 3,000 kg, which is said to be equivalent to the weight of an Asian elephant.
Our homes are built to withstand the elements, ensuring comfort in every season. We specialize in creating airtight environments that maintain a stable indoor temperature, shielding you from the extremes of weather outside. This means you can enjoy a cozy, energy-efficient home year-round, regardless of the conditions outside.
It’s essential to understand that insulation isn’t just about adding material, but it requires proper “airtightness” measures to truly perform. Rushed insulation work can lead to condensation within the walls, potentially shortening the building’s lifespan.
Our approach involves thorough on-site assessments and repeated blueprint evaluations to recommend the best methods for your specific needs.
Our clients are consistently delighted with the performance of their homes, enjoying comfort in every season, whether hot or cold.
