Ecco

Ecco Xi'an is an office interior design located in Xi'an, China, covering an area of 1344 square meters. Nordic design elements present a natural and active working atmosphere and extend the brand concept into the space. Open and diversified work areas are combined with varied colors to support the creativity of employees and to balance people and space. Interacting blocks form superimposed parts, and the collage of materials creates contrasting scenes. A leather brick wall recalls the city wall of Xi'an, and shoe lasts decorate the background wall.

Sanjiang Plum

Sanjiang Plum is a sales office interior in Wenzhou, China, covering 1898 square meters. The design explores Oriental aesthetics in a modern context. An irregular wave shaped ceiling is built from laminated white semi matte custom made aluminum panels, arranged like ripples across the room. The bar counter uses interpenetrating volumes and water textures to add depth. A method of deconstructing curved forms brings movement to a plain square plan. The interior follows the architectural form, so that light, landscape and social life stay central.

Island

Island is a hair salon set inside a forty-year-old house of 165 square meters. The renovation avoids elaborate decoration. Recycled decorative logs replace interior walls and act as divider screens, creating a see-through effect, a brighter room and a simple, clear flow. Abundant green foliage and climbing plants fill the space. A gravity-powered watering system based on siphon theory replaces mechanical irrigation, filling eleven tanks evenly and adding the sound of dripping water. The design brings natural elements into an urban setting.
