Group Philosophy
Thoughts behind the key visual
We envision forming a "membrane mountain range" in a desert to bring rain and building a city vibrant with life.
A gigantic membrane and a city in the middle of a desert is a dream vision that we at the Taiyo Group are working as one to make a reality. We also picture this city being filled with the smiles of people living colorful lives in this city, harnessing the group’s power to create both tangible and intangible value; Taiyo Kogyo Corporation in architecture, TSP Taiyo Inc. in the planning and operation of events, and Actio Corporation in facility management. We are determined to bring these skills together to create this dream city, and this is an achievable goal for the Taiyo Group, which works side-by-side with clients to support them in every way, from planning new things to establishing them in society.
