Japanese roots, innovative architecture.
This is Takenaka: A family business stemming back over 17 generations, with over 400 years of construction experience and nearly 50 years of construction activity in Europe. An achievement of which we are justifiably proud!
With our Japanese roots as builders, we are unique in the European market. As an internationally operating architectural office and general contractor, we represent economic-ecological building construction with quality planning and engineering services. We ensure certified processes and construction standards of the highest level.
We make use of our international reach and take responsibility for the living spaces in our society. Our buildings are oriented equally towards people and nature. We are proud to hand these over to future generations.

OUR CLAIM TO SUSTAINABILITY
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Sustainability as a benchmark: We design site-specific buildings, focusing on the high quality of life, energy efficiency with renewable resources, and forward-looking technologies. Our goal when a building is to be innovative and not just to meet but to exceed standards. To develop the most appropriate solution for your construction project from optimized components, around 200 specialists in our research institute in Japan research the fields of energy efficiency, materials technology, and construction technology. As part of our services, we advise you on KfW grants and meet sustainability standards by LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB.
