Works & Services

We do more than drawings. From concept, sun and code studies, building approval and detailed design to site supervision and handover, one team handles it all. Below are the projects we own and operate, and five services you can commission on their own.

01

Our own projects

Our own projects

These three projects were designed, built and either operated or used by us. We bear the quality of the design and verify the returns ourselves.

新宿 酒店

Shinjuku hotel

Designed, built and operated in-house. Because we handle everything from planning to daily operation, we know exactly where costs land and which savings turn into trouble three years later.

月岛 酒店

Tsukishima hotel

Also designed, built and run by us, in the same Tsukishima district as the office. We carry and verify the change in yield before and after renovation ourselves.

月岛 自社办公室

Tsukishima office

An office the firm designed and built itself, at 3-14-4 Tsukishima, Chuo-ku. Come discuss a project and see our work in person.

02

Operating and under construction

Operating & under construction

Six lodging buildings, some operating and some under construction, with one more in planning. Design, construction and operation are all handled in-house, so we know how each detail was built and what it cost. Below are guest rooms in operation, and sites currently being built.

Onsen-side lodging, whole house

Onsen-side lodging, whole house

Three storeys, detached · seven bedrooms

A quiet residential area · natural hot spring within walking distance · designed, built and run in-house

In operation

The whole house goes to one group at a time. The hard part with a building like this is not how the finishes look; it is turning an ordinary house into somewhere that can legally take guests and is genuinely comfortable to stay in — the number of rooms, the circulation, how many bathrooms, sound insulation, fire safety. Each of those has to satisfy the regulations and the guest at the same time. Here is how this one ended up.

Room layout

A detached three-storey house: seven bedrooms, two bathrooms and three washlet toilets, one on each floor. Beds are deliberately mixed — doubles, sofa beds and futon laid on tatami — so families, groups of friends and guests travelling with a baby all fit.

The neighbourhood

Hot springA natural hot-spring facility a short walk away: cypress-wood baths, whose scent is part of the point, plus a steam sauna, a dry sauna and a cold plunge
Day to dayWithin a few minutes on foot: a 24-hour convenience store, a drugstore, a laundrette, izakaya and restaurantsFive to ten minutes away: a large supermarket open late
SettingA residential area that is quiet at night — the ordinary Tokyo neighbourhood, not the tourist one

For guest privacy we do not publish the address or nearest station of individual buildings.

INU TO HITO · a dog-friendly cafe

Ground-floor tenancy in a commercial building · designed and built by ASAHIRINKEN

Completed

“Dogs and people” — guests bring their own dog in with them. That is harder than an ordinary cafe: the floor has to take claws and spills and still be easy to clean, the circulation has to work for dogs and people passing each other, and the ceiling and lighting still have to hold the room together. Here the floor is dark marble, which absorbs both the composition and the mess; the ceiling is covered end to end in hanging greenery, turning a low ceiling into the thing people remember while hiding the services above it. We did the design and the construction ourselves, so the details drawn on paper are the details that got built.

Under consideration

Tsukishima: former dormitory, 8DK house

Tsukishima, Chuo-ku · pre-owned house (former dormitory) · 2 min from Tsukishima Sta. (Yurakucho) / 6 min from Kachidoki (Oedo)

Under review

A pre-owned house two minutes from Tsukishima Station, formerly a company dormitory. We are in the pre-acquisition assessment — weighing a full renovation against a rebuild, checking road access, floor-area ratio, the old seismic standard, boundary survey and the lodging-business act one by one. The as-is photos are shown unedited: the work done before construction is worth seeing too.
