Projects
CLOISTER HOUSE - Situated on a 45,000 sq. ft. plot of land, this residence is designed to cater to a family known for frequent entertaining and hosting events of various sizes. The building takes the form of a deep square block, which is further subdivided into nine sub-grids.
KUNMING SALES GALLERY - Inspired by the intricate geological formations found in Kunming's Stone Forest, the design of the sales gallery aims to capture the essence of these natural wonders while efficiently incorporating all necessary elements of the typology within a compact space.
SOUTH BRIDGE OFFICE - The Garden Curtain Wall presents a departure from the conventional flatness of glass curtain wall facades commonly seen in office buildings. Instead, this innovative design features a thickened, biophilic envelope that serves as a protective shield for the office interior, shielding it from the tropical climate and urban commotion. Its purpose is to alleviate, enhance, and mirror the urban work environment's relationship with nature.
