ABOUT – SNARK Inc.

SNARK Inc. is an architecture firm based in Gunma and Tokyo. Our work spans a wide range of activities, from product design including furniture to the planning, design, and construction supervision of retail spaces, private residences, apartment buildings, and public facilities, as well as event planning and management. Working as a team with clients and builders, we think through every aspect of architecture and its surroundings to create spaces that inspire new ways of living, working, and playing.

VISION

Architecture for the life you live

At the core of SNARK’s architecture is a commitment to aligning with the values of the people who inhabit and own the spaces we create.

Music, manga, film, fashion, art, interiors, food—
we have always drawn inspiration from diverse cultures and the lifestyles, styles, and stories of the people who shape them.

Discovering something new, developing your own sensibilities—that is how values and personal style are formed.

The same is true for architecture.
What does a person love? What do they hold dear? How do they live their daily life, and how do they want to live going forward?
To give shape to these ideals, we invest time in ongoing dialogue and reflection.

Through space, your world expands. Your perspective and values deepen.
Or perhaps you encounter a hint that sparks something entirely new.

Homes and spaces that reflect who you truly are—that is what SNARK’s architecture exists to create.
