Bureau Prospectus & Resolutions [Newsletter 01/2023] / by kaz yoneda

Bureau will like to offer our deep gratitude for your support and kind cooperation in 2022. We hope that this year will be better and more prosperous for everyone. As we begin this year with anticipation and excitement, let us share some of our New Year’s resolutions.

Honestly, 2022 was a tough year for us, and we are glad to move onto a new year. The combination of Covid lethargy, economical lull, and various global impacts of the Ukraine conflict have been challenging to masterfully surf. As last year concluded with the successful completion of a villa in Nagano Prefecture, the new year has brought about a diversity of new projects, which we hope to show all of you one day. These range from furniture scale to interiors for food industry, and of course, architecture projects. With this base, we intend to take on more ambitious projects, both in scale and cultural impact, from planning to design and execution. On another hand, we intend to begin embarking on a publication project, establishing business and design partnerships, and last but not the least, creation of a new educational platform. We hope that through this journey, we will encounter great friends yet to meet, passionate colleagues, stimulating collaborators, and engaged clients.

We, at the Bureau, enjoy saying out loud these pipe-dreams, unabashed and without reservations. For pipe-dreams may one day become realities. Though through tireless effort alone does this usually happen, it is believed in Japan that uttered words have power, perhaps by the effects of inculcation or autohypnoses. By the virtue of our resolute utterances, may this year be a healthy, creative, and productive year for us all. Thank you for your indulgence, and looking forward to hearing from you wherever, whenever, meeting you in person if possible, working together, and supporting each other in these trying times. Thank you for your time and kind attention. Until next time, when we restart the monthly newsletters with original contents!
