Design philosophy
Philosophy of architect Kuniji Tsubaki
Tsubaki Architectural Design Institute is working to create a space that is kind to people and the earth.
We propose a healthy, safe and comfortable life surrounded by natural materials, coexisting with the climate of Japan's four seasons.We are aiming for an architectural design that will grow the building together with the residents and increase the warmth and depth.
"Balance" and "comfort"
When thinking about a building, first imagine this and proceed with the design.Balance is the balance of structure, cost, aesthetics, and owner, design, and construction.
If any one of these is out of balance, the existence of the building will be uncomfortable.
No matter how much an architect likes a building, it doesn't make sense unless the owner, who is the resident and user, is satisfied.
The building created by the owner, architect, and builder in a true cooperative and symbiotic manner will exist for a long time, and will be a calm and comfortable space.
It is a place where people live every day, coexisting in the natural environment.
I want to be an architect who continues to create convincing buildings in search of "balance" and "comfort" with keywords such as cityscape, environment, nature, materials, time, symbiosis, and dialogue.

Teahouse design details
The tea room space has evolved from being simply a tea room to being a place for people to interact with each other and a place to find peace of mind.
Taking into account various building conditions and respecting the wishes of the client to the greatest extent possible, the design of the tea room can be said to be a culmination of the best of Japanese culture and the skills of artisans.
Bringing the spirit of tea ceremony to modern times
Sen no Rikyu was always an innovator of innovative beauty within tradition, and his legacy is still vibrant today, 500 years after his birth. However, in order to pass on Rikyu's spirit to future generations and create another 500 years of history, we in the present day must also become innovators of innovative beauty, otherwise the tradition will perish.

What is a tea room?
The teahouse, its culture and spirit, have evolved and been passed down for 500 years along with the tea ceremony. The thatched teahouse, created by the tea master Sen no Rikyu as an innovation of traditional architecture, occupies a special place in Japanese architecture, which continues to evolve even today.
