• About Firm
  MR STUDIO Co., Ltd., founded in Tokyo in April 2017, specializes in architectural design that identifies and meets the potential needs of each project. The firm handles a wide array of building types, from residential to commercial and cultural facilities, and covers projects from interiors to large urban developments. By incorporating elements like signage, lighting, and landscape into its designs, MR STUDIO creates uniquely contextual and richly sequenced spaces.

The Urawa Garden Building is a medium-sized building with common spaces in the lower floors, and aims to become a new prototype for a medium-sized office building near the city center by incorporating the people of the city and the city.
The common space is designed to decipher the characteristics and context of the city of Urawa, which has prospered as a post town since ancient times, embodying the space, and creating memories of history. We interpret it, embody the space, weave historical memories, and create spaces to pass on.
