UID Architects

UID Architects is a Japanese architecture studio based in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, led by Keisuke Maeda. They specialize in designing residential and small-scale structures with a strong sense of place, embracing local context and materiality. Their approach balances minimalism with warmth, clean form with careful detailing, always attentive to how light, volume, and structure make a space feel lived in.

They believe architecture should respond both to its physical environment and to human experience. Each project is treated as unique — evolved through thoughtful collaboration, refined design thinking, and precise execution — to deliver architecture that feels grounded, elegant, and meaningful.
