Takano Landscape Planning

Working out of Hokkaido -- the land of farming -- Takano Landscape planning has its philosophy rooted in allowing for slow progress, re-familiarizing oneself with the local environment, and a sustainable work ethic.

Philosophy of Living

Enjoy living

Our individual lives are full of fun. We play soccer and enjoy fishing. One of our members tends horses at home to participate in equestrian events. And there are parties.

Continuous involvement with forest and agriculture

We are surrounded by forest and farm, and direct involvement with them allows us to feel and think of a sustainable society. Such experiences have become a primary aspect in structuring our project concept.

New sense of values

We moved to Hokkaido, when the whole country had set its priorities in "speed", "efficiency", "big scale", "profit", "advancement", and "big city".

It was not just a choice to move our office, but choice for each staff member to have a life of "allowing slow progress", "building up seemingly useless thing", "not following short sighted profit", " knowing importance of primary things", and "feeling familiar with the local environment".
