LIFE SCENE

Designing Sustainable & Quality Living

ATC Kurashi Design Plaza is one of Japan’s leading permanent exhibition and information centers dedicated to housing and lifestyle.
Originally opened in 1995 as the ATC Imported Housing Promotion Center (IHPC), the facility has introduced a wide range of housing products, technologies, building materials and equipment from Japan and overseas for more than 30 years.
On October 1, 2026, IHPC will be renamed ATC Kurashi Design Plaza, marking a new stage in its development.
While continuing to provide information on housing, building materials and equipment, the Plaza will expand its focus to include eco-friendly housing, domestic timber, interiors, exteriors, kitchens and bathrooms, design and lifestyle.
With approximately 100 companies and organizations represented, ATC Kurashi Design Plaza serves as a comprehensive exhibition and information hub where visitors can discover new ideas and solutions for better homes, commercial spaces and everyday living.

See, Touch and Compare

One of the key features of ATC Kurashi Design Plaza is its permanent, hands-on exhibition space.
Visitors can see actual products, touch materials and compare different options in one location.
The approximately 3,200-square-meter exhibition hall features a diverse range of products and solutions, including:

  • Building materials and components
  • Kitchens, bathrooms, washbasins and faucets
  • Interior products and lighting
  • Exterior products
  • Domestic timber and wood products
  • Products and technologies for healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient housing
  • Products and ideas for new construction and renovation

Whether you are planning a new home, renovating an existing property, designing a shop or commercial facility, or simply looking for inspiration for better living, the Plaza offers a wide range of ideas and practical information.

From Housing to Better Living

Today, people expect more from their homes than functionality alone.
Comfort, design, sustainability, health, energy efficiency and quality of life have all become increasingly important.
ATC Kurashi Design Plaza brings together products, technologies, ideas and expertise related not only to housing, but to the broader concept of “kurashi” — the way we live.
Our aim is to help visitors discover new possibilities for creating sustainable, comfortable and high-quality living environments.
