Tatsuya Kawamoto

Tatsuya Kawamoto + Associates is a Japanese architecture office led by architect Tatsuya Kawamoto. Based in Aichi and operating across central Japan, the firm specializes in residential, rural, and small-scale public architecture with a refined sensibility toward materiality and structure.

Kawamoto’s work often explores spatial ambiguity, poetic form, and a dialogue between architecture and its surroundings. Projects such as Komonokaen blend landscape and built form across fragmented sites, while Hazamacho House frames agricultural life within flexible, elegantly structured volumes. His process emphasizes local craftsmanship, expressive detailing, and adaptive responses to site constraints.

Through a restrained yet evocative approach, the studio delivers architecture that balances structural clarity, sensory subtlety, and a deep respect for context and building traditions
