Architects Atelier Ryo Abe integrates original ideas and forms with traditional Japanese techniques and materials in order to establish a new international style appropriate to these times. The appearance and inner space of their buildings use very spontaneous forms, and gestures to create a dialog with the surrounding environment and its inhabitants. Indeed, in our approach, the building is part of the environment - part of nature, as are we.
