Manila

Manila is a spa interior located in Manila, the Philippines, with a total area of 8000 square meters. The design combines the classic architecture of the city with Chinese courtyard elements and joins traditional and modern techniques. Because the air humidity is high, composite wood plastic is used in place of solid wood. The entrance forms a trapezoidal space with modern pillars under extended wooden eaves. The reception area brings together marble, dark wood, cotton and linen textiles. Dark wood floors and furniture with sharp lines create a warm and comfortable setting.

Undulating Flow

Undulating Flow is a residential interior design for a 165 square metre apartment in Taichung City, Taiwan. The layout includes a master bedroom with an en suite, a Japanese style tatami room, a living room, a study, a kitchen and three balconies. An undulating wooden beam ceiling recalls the distant mountains and is echoed by a wavy grey and black carpet. Red lacquer walls with black lacquer sliding doors enclose a changing room. The apartment was arranged to display art and objects collected by the owners during their travels.

Furniture Pavilion S

Furniture Pavilion S is a temporary furniture showroom designed for a trade fair in Shanghai. The pavilion covers 150 square metres and is built from 821 pieces of prefabricated standard size plywood, which allow assembly or disassembly on site within 48 hours. Steel forms the rest of the structure, and the hyperboloid roof is covered with semi-transparent tensile fabric that spreads sunlight evenly. Stacked modular plywood units also serve as display coves. After the exhibition, the pavilion was transformed into 410 sets of tables and chairs for a nearby community.

HCH Fashion Boutique

HCH is a fashion boutique located in a modern shopping mall. The design draws on the symmetrical columnar hall, which recalls the plan of a classic basilica. The interior therefore shifts from a commercial character to a sacred one. The layout is also based on ancient Greek temples and the visual axis principles of the Acropolis. Three pink bridges are arranged to point toward each other and guide visitors through the deep space. Mannequins can be inserted into holes in the bridge surfaces to form a runway. Glassfibre reinforced concrete, terrazzo and steel are used.
