Adding a new value to the living space with the power of wood

We examine the impact of the living environment using the functions and characteristics of wood and greenery, as well as the power of nature and efficient use of equipment, on human comfort and health, and contribute to a decarbonized society through the creation of comfortable spaces.

  • Verifying the effects of light, wind and heat on humans

    We verify the effects of the living environment on humans from a psychological and physiological perspective in an actual space and an artificial climate chamber that can reproduce light, wind, temperature, humidity, etc. under various conditions. We will utilize it to realize a comfortable living environment.

  • Searching for the lifestyle friendly to both people and the earth

    Toward a decarbonized society, we propose the methods of improvement of building performance, devises of planning, energy saving equipments and their efficient operation, and verify the effects of them. They will be reflected in proposal of living space, equipments planning and our passive design "Ryoonbo."

  • Visualizing the value of wood construction and wood exposed space

    We communicate the value of wood construction and wood exposed space by proving, based on objective data, that "biophilic design" spaces, which incorporate natural elements such as wood and greenery, are effective in improving human well-being and productivity.

  • Exploring the new value of wood

    Aiming to expand the use of wood, we explore the new value of wood through analysis at the elemental level, research using synchrotron radiation and so on.
