Corner Villa

The Corner Villa is designed to cater to the owner's lifestyle and preferences, providing private spaces for hosting events and relaxation. The courtyard is placed at the rear, away from the parking area, while a deep balcony connects the cozy spaces to the main building. The villa's form utilizes broken and lozenge-shaped lines to create visual appeal and shadow play. Construction materials are prominently and exposedly used to design without the need for meticulous finishing.

Huawei Flagship Store

The Huawei Flagship Store involves the renovation of the historic building Traffic Hotel in Binjiang Road, Tianjin City. It is not just a redefinition of commercial space, it is a symbol of the city's cultural pride and a window for Tianjin to showcase its history, culture and innovative vitality to the world. The design leads people to recall the sense of achievement and excitement at the birth of modern commerce in Tianjin, making it once again a desirable city parlor. From the moment it opens to the public, the century old building will be reinvigorated.

Lynch

To recreate the glamorous and luxurious vibes in the Jazz Age of the 1920s, the space features tons of mirrors. Mirrors create a sense of extended visual depth. Vintage furniture, leather chairs, leather goods, and natural marble pay homage to the era filled with lots of glitz and glamour. A hair salon by day, and a bar by night, a two-faced venue that combines two seemingly different places. Imbued with glass, mirrors, light, shadow, and curves, the space is full of glamorous antique charm.

S House

It is a refined three-story concrete exposed house located in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture. Due to its proximity to neighboring apartment buildings and a busy road, the emphasis was placed on blocking sightlines and noise. The design incorporates a Japanese perspective, creating a blurred relationship between the interior and exterior, with gently rising exterior walls of varying heights serving as boundaries. As one progresses along the semi-outdoor approach formed by the gaps between overlapping exterior walls, the sounds of the outside world gradually fade away.

LuxLinea

Lux Linea is an ophthalmology clinic in Shibuya, Tokyo. The new addition to Total Eye Care clinics in the heart of the Japanese capital takes place on the ground floor of a mixed use building. Lux Linea design addresses two main issues. Glass reflections, and patients privacy. The clinic operates mostly during daytime, when the bright daylight reflects on the glass, obstructing visibility to the inside. The clinic employs a series of panel that plays with light lines through the glazed facades to connect with its surrounding urban environment.
