Thank you for your continued patronage of MOFF Co., Ltd.'s facilities.

We are pleased to announce that "Kasumigaura Animals and Everyone's House" has received the Gold Award at the 2026 Good Design Awards.

[Review Comments]
This unique project involved architects actively participating in a business competition, boldly transforming postmodern architecture from the bubble era and regenerating it as a habitat for animals. It also provided an unforgettable experience of humans intruding on a ruin inhabited by diverse animals. In terms of design, it not only blurs the boundaries between exterior and interior, animals and humans, new construction and renovation, and nature and artificiality, but also introduces new ways of thinking about conventional architectural planning and construction methods.
