A clear and comprehensive portrait of the practice of Tokyo-based architect Hiroshi Kikuchi spans more than 130 pages of anecdotal texts, architectural drawings and full-colour photographs of both buildings and nature in this compact, admirably-designed book. Having worked in the offices of SANAA in Tokyo and Herzog & de Meuron in Basel following his studies, Kikuchi established his own practice in 2004 and has since garnered several awards in design and architecture.

Through insightful observations and personal experiences, the book lends an intimate look at the architect’s perspectives and approach, with special regard for his small-scale projects and houses.
