T2P Architects - Osaka Hiraishin Kogyo Sendai Branch / Obayashi Corp
A well-crafted office project in Sendai, and a meaningful return to the city where I once studied. The metal façade gives the building a sharp, contemporary identity, while the interior layout is calm and efficient. Circulation is especially well handled, making the spaces feel open and intuitive. A strong project that fits naturally into the evolving character of Sendai.
Ateliers Jean Nouvel - La Marseillaise Tower
A vibrant landmark on the Marseille waterfront, instantly recognizable for its layered colors and sharp geometry. Spending time around the tower felt meaningful, especially in a place where my grandfather once worked after arriving in France. The façade shifts beautifully with the light, creating new patterns from every angle — a strong, optimistic addition to the city’s skyline.
Nikken Sekkei - Shibuya Scramble Square
The tower has quickly become a new landmark, offering an incredible variety of perspectives over the city. Different levels reveal shifting atmospheres, from urban energy to calm panoramic views. A strong piece of architecture that expresses the dynamism of its surroundings.
Nikken Sekkei - PalaceSide Building
This office building in Tokyo marks the beginning of a new collaboration with Nikken, and revisiting a masterpiece from the 1960s was a strong experience. The façade work is incredibly precise, and the public spaces carry a distinct atmosphere that feels transported from another era. The oval-shaped staircase is a highlight, revealing the elegance and craftsmanship of the original design.
