HOSOO architecture

In our 20th-century capitalist society that goes hand in hand with mass production and consumption, crafts have been regarded as a time-consuming old technology and pushed to a vulnerable position. Each craft technique has its own irreplaceable charms but also hard-to-handle characteristics. Instead of designing architecture created by mechanically composing standardized parts, we aim to design spatial harmony that vividly reveals the uniqueness of each craft technique & quality of the material.

Design Statement

The word texture originates from a word meaning “to weave.” Textiles are created using various yarns, each with a distinct color & material, woven together in concert while bringing out unique qualities. In the same manner, by beautifully weaving together disparate material components, such as stone, tile, metal, or concrete, like “textile,” we offer architecture imbued with textures that can be worn like clothes. Because what underlies a fertile life is an architecture with rich qualities.
