APL designs cities, landscapes, and buildings as interconnected systems. For 30+ years, this Tokyo-based practice has blurred lines between architecture, urban planning, and environmental design, crafting spaces where streetlights, plazas, and structures exist in deliberate dialogue. Founders Hidetoshi Ohno, Hideki Eguchi, and Shinya Yamamoto lead a collaborative studio that treats each project as a negotiation between scale and detail, whether master-planning districts or sculpting site-specific fixtures. Their work, recognized through national awards and cross-disciplinary acclaim, stands out for its coherent vision across dimensions. By partnering with specialists in ecology, engineering, and craftsmanship, APL ensures that every layer of the built environment, from zoning to door handles, feels intrinsically connected.
