About Us
Takeshi Hosokawa Architect balances the necessity for functional and financial performance, environmental sensibility, and delight. We believe that the appropriate solutions cultivated through a collaborative process with clients, consultants and contractors can be applied to projects of any types.
Takeshi Hosokawa Architect strives for the highest level of project delivery. Our approach questions conventional assumptions. We analyze an inherent spirit of place and interpret pragmatic constraints as a catalyst for responsive design. The soul of each project emerges through space, materials, and details.

Our Guiding Principles
-
1) Dialogue
A dialogue among equals. A give and take and exchange of ideas and feelings.
-
2) An open mind
A capacity to be amazed and surprised. Creative work is based upon observing the world around us and discovering and rediscovering the world every day.
-
3) Change
Everything is subject to change and alteration. Nothing is fixed and permanent. What’s new is old again. What’s old is new again.
“less is more, more or less, except when it’s not”
