It is the desire to make today better than yesterday, tomorrow better than today, and from the past to the future.To do this, we start with a dialogue with the client. Regardless of the country, we will continue to engage in dialogue with all customers until they are truly satisfied, searching for ways and techniques to design their dreams.And beyond each design, we will look at the creation of society through cities and architecture. We will disseminate Japanese architectural culture to the world and actively engage in international exchange through projects.Everything starts with the customer's thoughts, and we add the customer's thoughts to the space, comfort to the passing time, and a better future for the present. As long as there is human activity, the challenge of Tange Associates will continue.
