Since winning the competition for the Yokohoma International Ferry Terminal in 1994, FOA's original plan has received great critical acclaim and the project, their most ambitious so far, was finally completed in 2002 and has further established their international reputation. Current projects include the Zona Franca office park in Barcelona, a department store in the UK, a police station complex in La Villa Joyosa, Spain and a publishing headquarters in Paju City, Korea.
