our warmest wishes for a serene end of year and shining beginning of 2016!

happy new year!

From Japan, there are high chances that I am preceding you in the new year...\nI hope that 2016 will be prosperous and serene for you and your family!\n\n\n\nam starting the year with a clear objective and am very energized because we have the chance to save a japanese old traditional building.\n\nThe owner of the tea-house near Enoshima approved my plan but we need to act quickly.\nI plan to appoint the entity which will adopt the building during the first week of january.\n\nThe deadline is 1/7 so please contact me promptly if interested.\n\nThe total cost of the demolition and reconstruction is estimated in about 35 million yen (300,000 USD) + reimbursable expenses.\n\nHere below is the entry with the details if you missed it.\n\nhttp://www.bartokdesign.com/japan/0-blog_news/last_rush_to_save_the_fujisawa.php\n\nWhat excites me is that I feel that this project may become the first step to rebuild a new sensibility around traditional handicrafts and heritage buildings in japan (like a boomerang effect).\nI think we can leverage this first example to produce a larger impact and a positive change in the common sense of japanese real estate and the dominating scrap and build practices.\nThis may sound as a dream but sometimes dreams come true.\nAnd if there is a time to ... go for your dreams is today!\nWe leave the old year for a shiny, immaculate 2016 and I hope I will be able to share with you the path, the emotions and the successes of a wonderful year!\n\n\nAll the Best!\n\niacopo torrini\n\n
