Cabinets, ceilings and floors are finished in black wood and stone, so attention stays on the exhibits. The cabinet lighting illuminates each artwork rather than the cabinet surfaces. Wine walls are arranged symmetrically along both sides of the main corridor, following Oriental symmetry aesthetics. Turns and level changes create a varied route through the rooms.

Moli Landscape

Moli Landscape is a restaurant interior located in a shopping mall in Shenyang, China. The design uses a high skip-floor layout and floor-to-ceiling lighting, allowing sunlight and air to flow freely through the space. The main facade is left blank, forming an open cave-like entrance. Guests walk along a winding stream amid shifting light and shadow, then ascend stairs to a raised dining room with wider views. Roof lines form large cantilevers that decline with a natural slope, recalling the feeling of sitting in the mountains. Materials include stainless steel, silver finishes and stone.

Red Brick Hotel

GONG XU Hotel Interior Tuesday, 11 August 2026

Red Brick

Red Brick is a hotel interior at Qinglong Mountain, created through the adaptive reuse of an old wharf. Reclaimed red clay bricks form a light permeable screen instead of a solid wall. The bricks are perforated and held by a concealed stainless steel system, so no wet mortar is used on the facade. Daylight passes through the small openings and casts changing patterns on the interior surfaces. The dry assembly protects the fragile bricks, reduces water use and allows later disassembly. The project reuses heritage material as an active building element.
