Jinghualou

Jinghualou is a top notch Beijing restaurant located on the central axis of Beijing, the ancient capital of China's Five Dynasties. Now it is managed by the heirs of the old imperial kitchen. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the country finally opened its doors to the world, and Western culture poured in. The designer combined the context of the Forbidden City and the elegance of Western culture and successfully drew a picture of ukiyo-e of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China through an art of design.

Gathering Night

In the current situation where there are many similarities between popular online check-in stores and commercial consumer stores, this project aims to create a unique style and atmosphere that allows customers to have a different experience space. This space distinguishes different scene atmospheres through different colors and shapes, and uses coatings on materials to convey environmental awareness, allowing customers to experience different emotions in this commercial city.

Oita Soho

Oita Soho was designed to create a sophisticated, relaxing space with Japanese influences and carrying some of the identity established in Oita’s first restaurant, informal and verdant with plants throughout. The space required more than the conventional approaches of minimalistic modern Japanese design to deliver a distinct, remarkable experience that is a synthesis of aesthetic and cultural elements. The work was inspired by the Tanizaki essay "In Praise of Shadows" which discusses the use, meaning and aesthetics of darkness and shadows in Japanese art, design and architecture.

Y Club

The design of Y Club Bar and Restaurant combined multiple dining experiences in one place and have controlled the use of materials to create a simple and pure club space. Inspired by the Roaring Twenties, a short but special period, the project aims to present a black and gold era. The whole design discards the exaggerated decoration and creates a mysterious and exquisite club experience by carefully planning the space, selecting the materials and creating the lighting with care.

Brazy Office Lisboa

This project focused on transforming a challenging space, characterised by low ceilings and limited daylight, into a well-lit and comfortable workspace. The design strategy involved the use of suspended ceiling structures to create an illusion of height beneath the existing concrete floors, coupled with strategically placed artificial lighting to ensure uniform illumination throughout the office. Ceramic panels were employed to visually expand the workspace, while the inclusion of concrete elements added architectural depth.

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.
