We craft distinctive, highly coordinated interior environments — from custom residences to flagship retail — pairing 15 years of design expertise with the technology to let you walk through every decision before it’s built.
Rooftop amenity level — resort residence
Our philosophy is in our name. Everything we do is rooted in great design — we’re drawn to projects with interesting challenges and don’t limit ourselves to project types, markets, or industries. We break molds instead of fitting into them, and we always bet on great ideas and the hard work behind them.
Our method is simple to say and hard to do. Listen until we understand what your space must accomplish. Test ideas early and cheaply — in space plans, renderings, and full VR walk-throughs — so the expensive decisions are made on evidence, not instinct. Then document so thoroughly that pricing, permitting, and construction hold no surprises. Structured revision rounds and consolidated feedback keep every phase honest and every deadline real.
We bring together the right disciplines, expertise, and technology to deliver forward-thinking, sustainable environments that are built to last.
We introduce creativity to spaces from the multi-disciplined backgrounds of our team, crafting solutions unique to each client — reinforcing their goals, identity, and culture throughout their new space.

Whether a new building or a renovation of an existing structure, we create architecture that adds value — balancing a unique identity with careful integration into its surroundings.

We help clients prepare for the future — interpreting their needs and layering their vision across interiors, buildings, campuses, stores, and beyond.

We research and develop technologies that support the design process — from apps to drones to proprietary virtual-reality tools, we integrate new ways of doing things.

The KDDI:ToolKit equips you inside the VR environment — teleport through the model, measure spaces, and reconfigure furniture to explore alternative layouts yourself.

ResidentialThe challenge: deliver 88 residences that feel individually considered without 88 separate design efforts. We built a rigorous kit of finishes and details, then spent the budget where hands and eyes actually land — entries, kitchens, baths.
What we learned: standardize the palette, customize the moments.
RetailThe challenge: roll a brand out nationwide at speed without the hundredth store feeling like a photocopy. Our fixture and finish system carried identity through every location while flexing to each footprint.
What we learned: a kit of parts only works if the kit keeps evolving.
HospitalityThe challenge: a luxury hotel and golf course where the back-of-house has to work as hard as the lobby wows. We designed guest experience and service paths as one system, from arrival to amenity deck.
What we learned: the service path is a design surface too.
Research and development is a firm-wide initiative — everyone at KDDI is part of it. We don’t outsource innovation: when we spot a better way to design or deliver, we build it ourselves.
Our proprietary VR interface puts you inside the model with teleport, tape-measure, and furniture tools — reconfigure a room and make the call yourself, no designer required. Decisions that once took a revision cycle now happen in a single session.
Building Science
Architects, engineers, consultants, and contractors sync to a single model, so clashes surface early on screen — not late on site.
Evidence Over Instinct
Space-planning studies test how a room will actually live — sightlines, storage, flow — while change is still cheap.
Continuing Education
Certifications, coursework, and new-material research are part of every designer’s job description — what we learn this month reaches your project the next.
We may be designers by trade, but that’s not the only box we fit into. We’re dedicated to our clients’ projects as if they were our own — your goals, identity, and culture are the brief, and the built environment is how we move them forward.
In practice that means one senior point of contact from kickoff to punch list, consolidated feedback rounds so decisions stick, and coordination with your architect, engineers, and contractors so the design intent you approved is the one that gets built. It’s why brands like Nike, Mandarin Oriental, Pendleton, and 4Ocean keep trusting us with theirs.
Great design should leave more behind than a beautiful room. The work has to be good for the people in it, the community around it, and the world it sits in — it’s not all about profit.
We design interiors to outlast trends — specifying materials for durability and lifecycle, favoring renovation over demolition, and detailing so well that replacement isn’t the maintenance plan.
We work with local fabricators and craftspeople wherever a project lands, and we mentor emerging designers — the same open door that got us started in Beaverton in 2012.
From education and healthcare environments to purpose-led brands like 4Ocean, we take on work where the outcome is measured in more than revenue.
From programming and space planning through documentation and construction administration — see exactly how we structure a project, phase by phase, deliverable by deliverable, in a live proposal.
