The space originated from the rapport of Human, Nature and other artefacts interconnects the society and the environment in the gradual evolving time. The coexistence of this life form is the intrinsic role of architecture to determine the state of spatial leads, the channel of light and wind, and the selection of materiality. Satoshi explains how APOLLO combines all of these function to create stunning projects, primarily homes and corporate spaces. “We try to hear clients’ opinions as much as possible before telling our ide- as. Then we try to seek for the most appropriate answer. We carefully create architecture individually. “Our aim is to make every project as beautiful as possible. In order to achieve this aim, it is the most important to create the atmosphere that stakeholders can enjoy the project without compromise.” Within the architectural industry currently the residential market has fewer opportunities to make new buildings because of the deduction of population, but the hotel industry has more opportunities thanks to inbound effect. As such Satoshi concludes by stating that the firm aims to expand in order to create new projects for a variety of different clients. “In the future we would like to move into new sectors, including taking on more commercial and hotel work. Branding and consulting will also be a focus, as we believe not enough of our competitors are paying attention to these vital areas.” Best for Private House Design - Japan & Best Japanese Private Housing Project: WRAP With a sensitive and drastic posture, APOLLO is committed to delivering innovative architectures which widen perspectives and deepen insights without being prevailed by the trend.
