In order to actualize our philosophy (Tanseisha aims to contribute to the enrichment of society and people’s lives by creating better spaces), we take serious and earnest actions towards our services of producing places for people to gather.

Creating spaces with people and the environment in mind

We strive to create spaces that not only offer convenience, comfort, beauty and topicality, but safety and security for its users, all while complying with laws and ordinances. Our spaces are made to be easily accessible and usable for anyone in society, without any bias. We consider all local environmental factors and safety issues at the construction sites as well as when making our first designs.

Contributing to social and cultural development through spatial design that supports social interaction

As it is in our social nature as a company to create places that utilize and nurture a wide variety of social behavior/movement and to be involved in the creation and continuation of a diverse and rich culture, we approach and follow through with every plan and design with the utmost care and thoroughness.

Balance with the environment – consistency between business and environmental conservation
