建部大樹 | TAIKI KENPE

I’m from Hakusan, Ishikawa, and studied architecture at university. During my student years in Kyoto, a part-time job at Len Kyoto Kawaramachi opened my eyes to travel and the power of community, and that led me to an interest in both hotels and hotel architecture.

After graduation I worked in site management at a construction firm, driven by the belief that to make something truly good you have to understand the site firsthand. With that mindset, I joined the team from the pre-opening phase of SOIL Nihonbashi. My ambition is to create a kind of hotel this city hasn’t seen—combining high-quality service and hospitality with beautiful architecture and a touch of rawness. In short: something seriously cool.
