Coil Kazuteru Matumura Architects (coil 松村一輝建築設計事務所) is an Osaka-based architectural studio founded by Kazuteru Matumura. The practice is dedicated to creating spaces that celebrate natural materials, craftsmanship, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. Their work spans residential, commercial, and hospitality projects, each designed to foster comfort, community, and human connection.
At the heart of Coil’s philosophy is a respect for wood, stone, soil, and washi paper, materials that carry cultural depth and timeless beauty. By collaborating closely with artisans, the studio ensures authenticity and durability in every project. Their designs are not just physical structures but atmospheres—places where people feel at ease, where smiles naturally emerge, and where time enriches the experience of space.
Coil’s projects, such as MAKI NO YADO, K2-House, and SEN.RETORET TAKIJIRI, demonstrate a balance between tradition and modernity. The studio has earned recognition, including the Architectural Design Award 2025 – Excellence Prize, and has been featured internationally on platforms like ArchDaily.
Through its work, Coil Kazuteru Matumura Architects continues to explore how architecture can nurture both individuals and communities, blending Japanese sensibility with contemporary design.
