Joe Chikamori_first-class architect/Principal of 07BEACH. Majored in architecture at an art university.Worked at a design and construction company for 10 years in Tokyo.I was in charge of all processes from design to construction management for each projects.2011, I started my own design office 07BEACH.In the same year, I did some projects in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.Summer of 2012, I felt opportunities in Vietnam, beyond it, in pursuit of working in some otherAsian countries, I moved to Ho Chi Minh city.Comparing to Japan, it is not orderly and easy for me, and I feel stress many times.But in place of well organized environment, there is more freedom to try in here Vietnam.This makes my attitude as a designer more challenging, and as a constructor, try to make my design inspired with those environment into a reality.I do all processes by myself from designing to site management including purchasing materials.As it stands now, this is how I can manage to do convincing work.Because of this situation, it is difficult to handle several projects at once.I'd like to improve it, but also keep giving priority first to make good work for every singleprojects.
