FUKUOKA / URBAN DESIGN / DATA

The city,
a stage for creation.

Urbanix Co., Ltd. is an urban design company that carries a project through in one continuous line — from researching a place, to designing what gets built there, to running it afterward. Our aim isn't to manufacture crowds. It's to leave room within the city for someone to say, "I want to try this."

01 — WHAT WE DO

Those who study a place, open it.
Those who open it, keep it running.

A research firm, a design firm, an operations firm — normally, these are three separate companies. We take on all three within the same team, so nothing gets lost along the way.

01
Study
Where people gather, and where space stands empty. We bring the city's present state to light in numbers and maps.
02
Envision
From what our research uncovers, we set a direction for what should happen next.
03
Open
We turn closed buildings and lots into places people can enter — from planning through design and construction.
04
Sustain
Opening a place isn't the end of the job. We stay on to run it, putting in place the systems that keep it going.
02 — OUR WORK

Reading the city, opening a place,
building it into a system.

03 — TEAM

A company built half of architecture,
half of data.

People who study the city, people who design buildings, people who build maps. Skills that would usually sit in separate companies all share the same team here.
