This award was given because of the following points.

- As an antenna shop for Toyama Prefecture, concept design uses timber that has been selected and procured locally at various stages of processing and that is lying dormant in the region, bringing out the possibilities of using timber through a variety of materials and processing methods.

・It creates a strong sense of responsibility and attachment to contribute to the region through the process of creating value from Toyama's trees as a limited space that conveys the appeal of the region and utilizes local materials.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all the people who cooperated with us, including our clients.

 

We will continue to create environments that attract customers based on consumer ideas, always working to solve our customers' problems and meet their requests, providing optimal spaces that bring Delight and Passion.
