Transform your limited space into a private sanctuary for meditation and healing.
A proposal for a modern Japanese garden nurtured by the Okinawan climate and culture.
・Making use of limited space
・Compatibility with modern architecture
・Professional technology for wind and salt damage resistance
・Utilization of local Ryukyu limestone

Making effective use of limited space (Tsuboniwa Philosophy): Even without a vast plot of land, small dead spaces (courtyard gardens) visible from balconies, entrance approaches, and living rooms can be transformed into meditation and healing spaces (Zen Spaces).
限られたスペースの有効活用(Tsuboniwa Philosophy): 広大な敷地がなくても、バルコニー、玄関アプローチ、リビングから見える小さなデッドスペース(坪庭)を、瞑想や癒やしの空間(Zen Space)に変えられること
Compatibility with modern architecture: Japanese gardens, with their minimalist aesthetic, harmonize beautifully with the exposed concrete houses and single-story Western-style buildings that are common in Okinawa.
モダン建築との相性: 沖縄に多いコンクリート打ちっぱなしの住宅や、平屋の洋風建築に、引き算の美学である日本庭園は非常に美しく調和します。

Selection of wind- and salt-tolerant plants (Subtropical Plants with a Japanese Aesthetic)
耐風・耐塩害の植物選定
・Even if you bring plants from mainland Japan, they may not grow well in Okinawa's environment.
(日本本土の植物をそのまま持ってきても沖縄の環境では育ちにくいことがあります)
・Instead, we will showcase our ability to express a "Japanese aesthetic" that rivals gardens on the mainland by arranging native Okinawan species (such as Garcinia subelliptica, Calophyllum inophyllum, Vitex rotundifolia, Rhaphiolepis indica, and various ferns) using the "metaphorical" technique.
(その代わり、沖縄の在来種(フクギ、テリハボク、ハマゴウ、シャリンバイ、各種シダ類など)を「見立て」の技法で配置し、本土の庭に負けない「和の情緒」を表現できる技術をアピールします。)

Local Materials
(地元の素材を活かす)
・Instead of using Kurama stone or granite from Kyoto, we propose modern dry landscape gardens and unique stone arrangements that dynamically utilize Ryukyu limestone. We offer a "Japanese modern" style that is unique to Okinawa.
(京都の鞍馬石や御影石の代わりに、琉球石灰岩(Ryukyu Limestone)をダイナミックに使ったモダンな枯山水や、独特の石組みを提案。沖縄ならではの「和モダン」を提案します)
