ABOUT


Beyond Abundance —
Creating Lifestyles Where New Values Flourish

At ikg, we believe that every space should tell the story of the people who live and thrive within it. Guided by this concept, we craft personal, richly detailed environments that elevate daily life.

Rooted in empathy and driven by the power of collaboration, our work transcends conventional designs. Our spaces are not only beautiful and comfortable, but also leave a meaningful, lasting impact on people’s lives.

Life is Art
Through spatial design, we reimagine ways of living, creating enduring values for individuals and society as a whole.

Corporate Philosophy
"Designing spaces that resonate, inspire, and are cherished for generations."
Pursuing rich, harmonious lifestyles where people and spaces exist in perfect balance.

Who We Are
ikg inc. is a boutique architectural design studio based in Tokyo. Led by the visionary leadership of founder Tomoko Ikegai and supported by a diverse team of talented professionals and trusted multidisciplinary collaborators, we are known for consistently bringing extraordinary spaces to life.

Our portfolio spans a wide range from luxurious private residences for discerning clients to celebrated commercial projects such as Daikanyama T-SITE and Futakotamagawa Tsutaya Electrics. We also extend our reach internationally, such as the bookstore project in Xi’an, China.

Our approach goes far beyond architecture. We oversee every aspect of a project-from land acquisition to interior details such as furniture, lighting, art, landscaping, and accessories, down to tableware, home appliances, security systems, and post-completion management. This comprehensive approach ensures every element is in harmony with a singular, cohesive vision. Through this level of dedication and precision, we create elevated, one-of-a-kind living experiences.

Driven by our core philosophy of creating new value in people’s lives, we continue to evolve-and to inspire.
