Architecture & Planning - , ,
frontofficetokyo is an office of observers. We are outsiders living in a changing city that has plenty to teach. We are working to imagine and build new ways to live in an urbanizing world. Sometimes this means we do research, usually it means we build. Often it means collaborating with people from outside of the office. We like this last point especially because it allows us to step beyond our own expertise and see the world in new ways.frontofffice was founded in 2008 by Will Galloway and Koen Klinkers after meeting at the University of Tokyo where they were studying the connection between real estate, urban planning, and architecture in Japan. Erez Solomon Golani and Christian Dimmer joined shortly after. The office currently is based in a converted post-WWII era wooden house in the center of Tokyo and often acts as host to traveling visitors and scholars. frontoffice is internationally oriented, with projects in Japan as well as in Europe
