Raven Architects, it is difficult to pronounce for Japanese, then why Raven???
レイヴァンというのは、鳥の名前で日本にはいない鳥でイメージ的にはカラスです。日本語訳では大カラス。
Raven isn't in Japan and is a large black bird in the crow family. Japanese translation is Oh-Karasu.
実際の鳥をイメージすると何でこの名前って思うかもしれないけど、私はこの設計事務所を設立する前はカナダで２年間英語と住宅建築の勉強をしその後、カナダの建設会社で数年働いていました。
It may sound strange to named Raven as a name of architect office when you imagine the real bird of raven, however I have learnt English Conversation and North American Residential Design for two years in Canada, and after that I have worked construction company in Canada for a few years before I establish this Architect office.
カナダ西部の原住民の神話の中にもレイヴァンが登場し、レイヴァンが人間の住む世界を創造したという話を知って、私自身も住宅設計を通じて、人が快適や安らぎを感じられる空間を創造していきたいと思い、設計事務所を設立する際は、この名前を事務所名にしようと思ったんだよね。Raven in mythology from West Coast of Canada, There is story that "Raven create the world in which humans now live." and I would like to create a space which pepole feels comfortable and cozy in my field of Residential Design as well, then I would like to have named Raven Architects to my architect office when I establish the architect office.
それと、カナダから多くの事を学ばせてもらって、今後も出来ればカナダとの繋がりを持っていたいという事もあります。
Also I have learnt a lot of thing from Canada and I would like to have some conection with Canada as well...
