Entry Description

Cutting-edge ceramic plant and office in one of Japan's leading ceramic areas. Under concept of "Bridge" inspired by the "human harmony, connections and bonds" meant by the company name, we built a new hub for creation to connect people with nature and each other. The large eaves extending to the sky and spacious terrace lead to the company’s connections to the surroundings as well as its innovation and transparency. We designed the property and landscape integrally to provide a space for the community and the company to enhance their attractiveness, not only for production.
