TAKESHI HOSAKA architects was established in 2004 by Takeshi Hosaka who was born in Yamanashi Prefecture in 1975. He received his bachelor of architecture at Yokohama National University and a master’s degree at the same university in 2001.  While attending the master’s program, he established SPEED STUDIO.

He endeavors to create architectures with elements of global environments and incorporate natural light such as direct sunlight, indirect skylight, and moonlight in the site as much as possible. In addition, some of his architecture was aimed to create a dynamic landscape with nature so that those are loved by visitors and locals.
