Established in Tokyo in 2023, YOKOMAE et BOUAYAD is a partnership led by the Japanese architect Takuma YOKOMAE and the Moroccan architect Ghali BOUAYAD.
An international team working on projects across Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The main office is located in Tokyo, with a branch office established in Morocco in 2025.
The practice is currently designing a wide range of projects from the small scale of pavilions, exhibition scenographies and private homes, to the mid-large scale of collective housing and hotels.
In September 2024, against 75 international agencies, YOKOMAE et BOUAYAD were among the five finalists for their proposal for the Japanese Sendai multipurpose music hall public tender, and in June 2025, were selected to design an art pavilion inside the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
