Open and bright, this hair salon is in Hiroshima city, face to a wide road and is easily recognized. One of the crucial points of this environmental design is how to cope with the strong light of the setting sun. The result is adding a café-like area near the entrance of the establishment. It is a lounge and nailing room. A back-bar like shelf is a partition of cutting booth and it blocks the sunshine and also keeps the privacy of customers. The interior is so attractive for passers-by and wakes to optimum openness for a beauty salon.

This hair salon is located one minute from Harajuku station and freelance hair dressers work there for their customers. The salon owner supports such hairdressers to work independently without their own salons. The salon is composed of some booths that are like different salons along a hallway. Each booth was scaled and deigned after research and development with the hairdressers.

This Japanese restaurant was created in Hiroo, Tokyo. The width is 4.4m and the depth is 18m. It is on an irregular shaped site with no trace of columns and beams, which is in wall construction. Use of fill-up concrete block makes here a cozy building in the forest with a backdrop of dense residential area. A canopy of Hinoki planks and tiles extends from an alcove and horseshoeshaped louvers of Hinoki boards and brass parts are impressive on facades and they give a feeling of softness and steric effect to rough concrete surfaces. The interior uses various woods panels, rice paper, tiles, and urushi painting for each area to represent diversity.
