About US

Klein Dytham architecture (KDa) is a multi-disciplinary design practice known for architecture, interiors, public spaces and installations. Established by Royal College of Art graduates Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham in Tokyo in 1991, today KDa is a multi-lingual office with an international reputation and a high-profile client list which includes Google, Tsutaya, Sony, Virgin Atlantic, Nike, Uniqlo, Selfridges and Japan Rail.KDa's built work includes flagship retail stores, restaurants, resort facilities, office fit-outs, houses and private residences. KDa has no stylistic recipe, preferring to work with the client, program and other project parameters to develop a uniquely tailored solution. Materials, technology, and context are all key elements of KDa's design approach, spiced always with an irreverent or surprising twist. For KDa, Tokyo is a constant source of inspiration and creative energy. The Japanese thirst for the new, a sensitivity to material and detail in crafting, and an ever-changing urban environment invigorate KDa's thinking and production.In 2003 Mark and Astrid devised PechaKucha Night as an event for Tokyo designers to meet and share their work – it has now grown into an international network with events running in over 900 cities around the globe, inspiring creatives worldwide. KDa spans east and west, offering the boldness of vision that only an outside perspective can bring.

Klein Dytham architecture (KDa) 是一家多学科设计事务所，以建筑、室内设计、公共空间和装置而闻名。KDa 由英国皇家艺术学院毕业生 Astrid Klein 和 Mark Dytham 于 1991 年在东京创立，如今已成为一家精通多种语言的事务所，在国际上享有盛誉，客户包括谷歌、蔦屋书店、索尼、维珍航空、耐克、优衣库、塞尔福里奇百货公司和日本铁路。KDa 没有自己的风格秘诀，而是根据客户、方案和其他项目参数来制定独特的定制解决方案。材料、技术和环境都是 KDa 设计方法中的关键要素，同时总是会加入一些不羁或出人意料的元素。对于 KDa 来说，东京是灵感和创造力的源泉。2003 年，马克和阿斯特丽德设计了 PechaKucha 之夜，为东京的设计师们提供了一个交流和分享作品的平台，现在它已经发展成为一个国际网络，在全球 900 多个城市举办活动，为世界各地的创意人士带来灵感。KDa横跨东西方，提供只有外部视角才能带来的大胆视野。
