A symbolic window made by the traditional Japanese beauty Kiriko glass. ”Ginza Sora" is an eye-catching exterior with window of Kiriko glass on the entire wall surface that wraps around the shop.

We planned to create an attractive façade that would appeal to those walking outside expressing it with glass and light. Inside the store, a design panel with a traditional Japanese pattern is dynamically placed in the atrium as a "hospitality design" that welcomes visitors. 

Designed by matching colors and materials to create a sense of unity and continuity as a space while contemporarily directing traditional Japanese crafts. A new style Japanese restaurant has been completed as a modern/elegant space. 

GOOD STORY WITH YOU.

The most happy story for each person, one by one.
What we face is the story of each person. Nothing is the same in the synopsis. And I believe that the story has universal value that everyone wants to cherish, whether it's timeless or cross-border. Designing the story of the person who provides the space and the person who enjoys the space. Being a partner who is close to the continuation of the story without end rolls. We design the most happy stories for each and every one of us.
 
mission
We will continue to excite our customers, society, and ourselves by providing solutions that shake our hearts, connecting the hearts of our customers and consumers.

philosophy
While pursuing the physical and mental well-being of all staff, we will contribute to society by providing our customers with the best designs, the best proposals, and safe construction. Create the best design company in the world.

message
Designing the "story" that customers envision in the store and creating valuable "connections" with consumers. Designing the "story" envisioned by the people who work at AK, and supporting each challenge. The new corporate message "GOOD STORY WITH YOU." Contains such "two thoughts." We were founded in 1999 as a construction company. Even now, we have craftsmen in our company, and while valuing the identity of "on-site", we have expanded our business to the design field. In order to realize our goal of being the "world's number one design and construction company," we will continue to challenge various fields and aim for further growth.
