CEO Shinichi Kanefuji
Since our founding in 1947, Irie Miyake Architects & Engineers (IMA) has pursued architecture with pride, guided by the aspirations of our two founders—to become professionals equipped with creativity and technical expertise. We have consistently worked to realize architectural solutions that resonate with our clients’ visions. In an era of rapid societal change, we strive to create buildings that go beyond optimal solutions, shaping the future of our cities. To support this mission, we foster a workplace where employees grow through mutual respect and fulfillment. We are also committed to nurturing young talent and have recently enhanced our working environment by relocating our headquarters to the Ark Mori Building.
Looking ahead, we will continue to engage sincerely in architectural design, connecting people and communities through the power of architecture, and contributing to a richer, more vibrant future.
