According to Maki Onishi and Yuki Hyakuda, who founded their office in 2008, “For us, building a structure resembles the weaving of a story. A thrilling fantasy begins in the familiar world around us, but then, at some point, carries us off to another world altogether.”

Eight architectural projects, both completed works and ongoing concepts, are introduced in this book. Each has a story that begins with a detailed illustration serving as an index of the diverse elements of the design process and then moves into specifics regarding some of these elements using many models, photos and text.
