Osamu Morishita Architect & Associates is a first-Class architectural office specialized in the design, in the supervision and the project management of buildings from shops to public facilities, even new construction and renovation. Not only specialized in environment design, object and product design, interior design, we can also manage every kind of work related to the realization of a project. We can design the architecture under the commissions of our clients. We always keep in mind what we can offer and how to ensure the interest of our clients. In order to make the best decision, we propose to the client an anticipation of how the building should appear at the end of the work. In this way we are able to obtain from the beginning the trust and the satisfaction of our clients. At the same time we are aware of our responsibility not only on our clients, but also on the entire society because any architetcure is an evident part of the environment during all its existence. Looking the future, we would like to realize never old architectures able to resist to the flow of time. Architecture is the result of meeting between the designer and who asked for it, it is not a determinated solution. It is just a coincidence chosen between thousand of possibilities. The confidence in these principles and the verification of the best solution for all the people related with the realization of the project permit to reach the right choice.
