WITHDOM Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuoka Prefecture, Representative Director: Katsuhide Nango, hereinafter "WITHDOM") will grand open its new base, "WITHDOM Ibaraki Tsukuba Studio," in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, on Saturday, May 2, 2026.
This studio distinguishes itself from typical housing company showrooms by featuring interior design by architects and an experience booth where visitors can feel the insulation performance equivalent to insulation class 6+ and whole-house heating. It is designed as an experiential facility for prospective homeowners to confirm their home-building choices with all five senses, providing a space where they can truly understand performance, materials, and spatial philosophy.
WITHDOM has achieved the No. 1 national growth rate in the wooden construction industry (1,768% growth over the past 6 years) according to a Tokyo Shoko Research survey. Since its establishment in 2018, the company has grown to a sales scale of 10 billion yen and 190 employees in 8 years, expanding to 21 locations nationwide. The Tsukuba Studio is a crucial starting point for its East Japan strategy and is positioned as a key element in the company's mid-term strategy to supply 20,000 homes annually by 2036.
Why an "Experience Studio"? — From Catalogs to Experience, a Shift in Decision-Making Criteria for Home Selection
Tsukuba Studio with Architect-Designed Interiors
Recent home seekers are beginning to feel the limitations of comparing multiple housing company catalogs side-by-side. Numerical values such as insulation class, seismic resistance class, and airtightness performance do not convey how they differ in actual living experience on paper.
In response to this challenge, WITHDOM has consistently adopted an approach of "delivering performance not through numbers, but through physical sensation." The Tsukuba Studio is the most faithful embodiment of this philosophy.
Specifically, it is designed to complete the following three experiences in one place:
① Insulation Performance Experience Booth: Feel the difference with your bare feet
In a space cooled to sub-zero temperatures, two rooms are set up: one with a standard housing grade and one with WITHDOM architect-designed grade. By walking barefoot in both, visitors can physically confirm the living comfort of insulation class 6, not just from a catalog. This facility enables "comparative experience" of housing performance, which cannot be replicated in typical housing exhibition halls.
② Architect-Designed Interior Space: Real-world experience of material and light quality
The studio's interior is designed by architects partnered with WITHDOM architect design. It is not a mere administrative showroom of a housing company but is configured with an aesthetic close to actual living spaces, allowing visitors to feel the texture of materials, the way light enters, and the ambiance created by ceiling height, relating it to their own lives.
This is intended to be a place for "considering home building within an architectural work," rather than a "housing company showroom."
③ Private Consultation Space: Professionals knowledgeable in the Ibaraki area respond by appointment only
All decisions necessary for home building, from land search, subsidies, housing loans, to area characteristics, can be made in one place. In a private space available by appointment only, prospective homeowners comparing competitors can also feel at ease spending their time.

"Move emotions." — The Reason WITHDOM Emphasizes Experience
Corporate Mission: "Move emotions. Discover inspiration."
A house is one of the biggest purchases in life, and the decision is supported not by a spec sheet, but by whether one can imagine oneself living in that home.
WITHDOM's core brand philosophy is to transform home selection from a "comparison task" to a "real experience."
The Tsukuba Studio is positioned as a place to deliver this philosophy as an experience to homeowners in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and the Northern Kanto area.
Background of Establishment — Tsukuba City's Housing Market and East Japan Strategy
Tsukuba City is a region where the custom-built housing market is expanding, driven by a combination of factors: the concentration of intellectual population as a research and academic city, the influx of child-rearing generations, and the growing housing demand along the Tsukuba Express line.
WITHDOM positions this area as the starting point for its East Japan strategy and has established the studio in a location just a 4-minute walk from Tsukuba Express Banpaku-kinen-koen Station, anticipating visitors not only from Ibaraki Prefecture but also from Tokyo, Chiba, and Saitama.
WITHDOM Group's Growth and Nationwide Expansion
Since its establishment in 2018, WITHDOM has been expanding nationwide through its unique JV method (capital alliance type directly managed stores). This expansion strategy prioritizes both brand quality and on-site operational capabilities, unlike a franchise system.
