Home＞ greeting Ichiura Housing & Planning is a planning and design organization specializing in the housing field, which was founded by Ken Ichiura (1904-81) as Ichiura Architects in 1952. For more than 60 years since then, including planning and designing apartment buildings, development of new housing technology, planning and regeneration support for housing estates and new towns, support for town planning in existing urban areas, support for formulation of local government housing policies, housing and construction-related systems Our main business has been to solve various problems related to housing, such as support for the formulation of housing. This is because we are convinced that quality living and living environment are the foundation of society, and that a truly affluent life will be built on this foundation. Our approach to business based on this idea is a characteristic of our company and is our goal. Under the social trends such as population decline, declining birthrate and aging population, and shift to a low-carbon society, Japan is now entering an era of full-scale urban regeneration and stock regeneration. We have been conducting research and practice focusing on this theme since the early 1990s. We are advancing efforts such as town development of existing urban areas, rehabilitation plans for new towns and housing complexes, renewal design of dwelling units and housing buildings, and support for private condominium rebuilding projects, etc. On the other hand, we have been participating in overseas housing projects such as China and South Korea since 1989. Utilizing the planning and design technology that we have accumulated so far, we are contributing to the creation of housing and living environments that reflect the characteristics of each city and district. Our business execution organization consists of three departments: architectural design, city planning / design, and housing planning / technology. We have three offices in Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka, as well as liaison offices in Shanghai and Beijing, China, and a total of about 60 technical staff are working on the work. In our work, the three departments flexibly collaborate and cooperate, and we also cooperate with experts and researchers in related fields to always strive to obtain the best results that meet the demands of customers and society. As a specialist consultant in the housing field, all of us will continue to work on our business with the basic principle of "improving human living and contributing to the creation of new value in the living environment." We look forward to your continued guidance and support in the future. October 2013 Katsumi Uchida, President and CEO What is Ichiura? greeting History of the office Ken Ichiura's office brief history
