Koki Sugawara Architects

Sugawara Koki Architects is a Tokyo-based architectural studio led by Hiroki Sugawara. They specialize in creating refined, contextually sensitive architecture that blends simplicity, precision, and spatial clarity. Their work focuses on how light, material, and structure interact to shape experiences of space, with careful attention to detail and an understanding of site and program.

They undertake projects across residential, small-scale public works, and interior design, always aiming for designs that feel both calm and purposeful. Each project is approached as an opportunity to explore how architectural elements — volume, surface, void — can transform ordinary settings into meaningful environments.

The studio values craftsmanship, restraint, and authentic architectural expression. Their approach is minimalist yet rich in spatial quality, with designs that are responsive to surroundings, respectful of tradition, and honest in material usage.
