Three projects designed by our company have been selected for the 62nd BCS Awards: Takasaki City Theatre, Higashiosaka City Culture Creation Hall, and "Miraion" (Nagasaki Prefectural Nagasaki Library, Omura City Library, and Omura City Museum of History).
The BCS Award targets architects, designers, and construction companies, and is an award that is evaluated not only in terms of design but also in terms of construction and operation. This time, three projects in which our company was involved have been awarded. This is the first time for our company to receive simultaneous awards for three projects.

A theater created as a base for urban development through the power of culture.
