Upon leaving the architecture office Herzog & de Meuron, Daisuke Hirabayashi opened his office for architecture and photography.
Following his studies at Massachusetts College of Art & Design and Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Daisuke Hirabayashi joined Herzog & de Meuron in 2008, where he primarily worked on schematic design and design development phases for projects such as the Tate Modern Museum extension project in London, England, The National Library of Israel in Jerusalem and the Lusail Museum in Doha, Qatar.
He is a Japanese architect and photographer who has previously interned for Toyo Ito and was a teaching assistant for Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA at Harvard University. Before moving to Basel, he resided in Tokyo, New York, London, Lisbon and Boston.
In 2023 he published a photobook “Koechlin House” in collaboration with London-based publisher MACK. The book is a meditation on the life of Koechlin House, a home designed ‘inside out’ by Herzog & de Meuron. He also designed objects and furniture for “Creation as Dialogue” in collaboration with traditional craftsmen manufacturers based in the city of Nagoya, Japan.
