Features of FUDO architectural design
FEATURE
By accumulating dialogue one by one,
we design the optimal environment that suits your lifestyle.
-
1. Creating the most suitable architecture for the area
Land is not always in the right shape. Even on modified sites, we take advantage of the shape of the land and surrounding environment to design architecture that brings out the best aspects of the site to its fullest.
-
2.Indoor and outdoor environments where you can feel nature every day
We observe the surrounding environment, consider window placement and floor plans that make the most of nature, and propose a comfortable blend of architecture and nature.
-
3. Conductor layout with living in mind
While aesthetic beauty is important, we also pursue functional beauty with a wiring plan that takes lifestyle into consideration, and propose comfortable homes.
-
4. Comfortable interior that calms your mind
Home is the place where you spend your daily life. We propose comfortable interiors with colors and materials that harmonize with nature so that you can spend a relaxing time.
-
5. Comfortable environment
The indoor environment is important for a comfortable home. You can live comfortably by improving insulation and airtightness. We propose an indoor environment tailored to the region.

6. Peace of mind
Japan is a country prone to earthquakes. However, the seismic performance specified by law is the minimum standard. With high earthquake resistance, you can live with peace of mind. We design buildings that integrate design while improving seismic performance.
