Survival architecture for the creative industries.

For those who build meaning, not just form.

山籠もり

Retreating into the mountain.
Not to escape. To reconstruct.

The creative industries are consolidating. Studios shrink, roles blur, design becomes a feature inside someone else's product. Most respond by accelerating in the wrong direction.

Yamagomori exists for those who stop. Who rebuild the ground before building on it again.

Not a school. Not a retreat. Not a course.
A place where creative professionals and emerging practitioners reconstruct their territory.

Founded by Raf Cirillo. 25 years in mobility and transportation design. 10 in university education. Still practicing. Still inside the problem.

Taking root.
