Pamela Anderson's new wicker furniture collection, 'The Sentimentalist,' for Olive Ateliers is a reflection of her love for gardening and outdoor living, showcasing her design sensibilities.

Japanese real estate companies tend to bring patient, long-term capital, which is exactly what development and homebuilding require. They're not looking for a quick exit, which makes them natural partners for Bridge Tower.

The construction industry today faces an unavoidable paradox: the urgent need for sustainable solutions for the future of cities collides with the exhaustion of the term 'sustainability' itself, often reduced to a hollow commercial label.

The selected proposal was described by the jury as 'exemplary,' highlighting its capacity to balance formal clarity with sensitivity to context while establishing a dialogue with the existing Sainsbury Wing.

Kobe is a city where the sea and mountains are close together, with its urban area spreading across the slopes at the base of the mountains. In the Sannomiya area, the current city center, the most important urban axis connecting the sea to the mountains is Flower Road, running north-south from Shin-Kobe Station to the port.

It once belonged to Julian Eltinge, a vaudeville performer who usually played women-so convincingly that audiences were often shocked when he revealed himself to be a man. Starring in musical comedies like The Fascinating Widow, The Crinoline Girl, and Cousin Lucy (all title roles written for him), Eltinge went on to become one of the highest paid movie stars of the 1920s. One prominent critic cleverly dubbed him "ambisexstrous."

The project examines the integration of digital fabrication processes into reinforced concrete construction, highlighting that while materials such as steel and timber have undergone significant transformation through digital production methods, reinforced concrete has largely retained conventional casting techniques. The proposal aims to address this condition by incorporating digitally fabricated components into the construction system.

The clients chose to remain in Yagi-cho while contributing to the continued use of its older building stock. With the support of a local non-profit organization involved in community development, they acquired the eastern portion of a large two-unit rowhouse that had remained vacant for nearly three decades.

Residence AV is a courtyard house located in a dense residential neighborhood in Bruges, Belgium. Designed by YAMA architects, the project responds to a paradoxical brief: a strong desire for connection to the surrounding context combined with an equally strong need for privacy. The client, living alone, was attracted to the social presence and perceived safety of the neighborhood, yet sought a dwelling that could withdraw from direct views and support a more introspective way of living.

We planned the new head office for Uchida Shoten, a hardware manufacturer established 160 years ago in Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture.

This project is an architect's home and office located in a densely populated residential area of Tokyo. As there were other houses adjacent to the boundary of the site on all sides except for the north side, where the road is located, it was decided to install a large window facing the road, but the challenge was how to create a bright garden view through the north-facing window.
