Hidekazu Moritani

« The ability to listen and to observe is at the heart of my work as an architect. I look to understand the potential of a space or of a site, and to understand the client’s objectives. Only then can I think about how to bring value to the project. It is about opening one’s mind to explore all the possibilities in order to find the right answer. »

For Hidékazu, the purpose of his work is to empower people. Rather than the design of physical space, he views architecture as the design of a range of activities and new possibilities for those who live and work in the space. Fully versatile, he incorporates complex organizational challenges with a strong design vision to propose innovative tailor-made solutions both in architecture and interior design projects that have resulted in break through solutions for a diverse array of clients.

Since joining STUDIOS in 2005, initially as an intern, Hidékazu has driven the success of many notable architecture and interior projects. His focus on detail, his thoughtful approach and his exceptional creativity bring significant added value to projects, meeting his clients’ needs but also exceeding their expectations.

Skilled at encouraging and facilitating collaboration, Hidékazu also has an ability to bring people together, to cultivate a collective understanding, and to move the process forward. He is fueled by the energy that comes from teamwork, and finds inspiration in robust design discussions with all stakeholders to bring lasting solutions.

Hidékazu is fluent in French, English and Japanese.
