The concept of the company is like a box that is already open. Its design workpieces reclaim of lateral thinking and limitlessness to create the world which we truly see it. OPENBOX Architect is believed originally that architect and landscape design are inseparable, thus the company has initially driven by the concept of “A Marriage of Architecture and Landscape”.
Naturally, their relationship has grown together with the concept of “A Marriage of Architecture and Landscape”.

At this point, OPENBOX Architects focuses on how to improve relationships of things. Eventually, it is comprehended that the relationship can be a size of a city. An image of the city where people stay in good relationships and OPENBOX Architects’ works as a background is a thrill… How good it could be to live in the city where every relationship is filled with aesthetics and delicate design?
“In my opinion, architecture is a way of life, not just a career. It is a way of life I chose to express myself and to benefit society. For me, being an architect is life.”
