Collaborators:

 

 

Mr. Ben Ryuki Miyagi divides his time between his corporate headquarter in New York and his home country of Japan, and the rest of the world.

 

The company is still relatively small, with only a few full time staff and a few part time staff based in New York, USA and Kyoto, Japan, but it has already managed to complete freestanding architecture projects in both the USA and Japan. The company also works with collaborative business to business partners located in Europe and India, via Skype, for tasks related to architectural drafting, 3D modeling, and photoshop. A lot of them are former students and interns who know Mr. Miyagi.

 

This very efficient office management and collaboration style produces less fees charged to clients compared to relatively larger firms who provide the same service.

 

Mr. Miyagi is fully prepared to take on commissions larger and more complex, by having following collaborators standing by ready to work with.

 

 

 

 

Collaborators in the USA:  

 

 

 

Mr. Marc van Schendel, RA.

 

 

Mr. Marc van Schendel serves as the treasurer at Ben Ryuki Miyagi Architect Corporation based in New York State. Mr. van Schendel has known Mr. Miyagi since college days in the early 1990’s. Mr. van Schendel is a licensed architect in New York and California.
