Located in Binjiang District, Hangzhou, with a total land area of 13,300sqm, the site is designated for office, talent apartment, youth hub and commercial facilities.
Inspired by the local culture and landscape, the shape of the building takes the river Qiantang Jiang in Hangzhou as a starting point in its design. The building form of the wavy tea terraces is shaped into the main building area for office, youth hub and commercial facilities. The design raised the ground floor of the podium to connect the east and west squares, enhancing the permeability of the space on both sides of the building.
The facade design echoes the traditional design of the ancient tower in Hangzhou, incorporates modern elements, and also reflects the high-tech features of Binjiang District.
The landscape enhances the whole design by merging together with the building’s shape into a new inclusive space.

The site is located at the riverside location of Sanjiangkou in Jiangbei Core Area, with a total land area of 6,100sqm and it is designated for business and financial functions.
Ningbo is China’s first batch of cities to open a port, the earliest trade port, and China’s earliest “window” in commerce and trade. The site’s location witnessed the transformation of Sanjiangkou from the “window” of the past Chinese commerce and foreign exchanges to today’s “window” of Ningbo urban culture and urban commerce.
The building takes the “window” as the design concept. The architectural layout addopted ensures to maximize the view towards Huaishu Park and Yuyao River. From the inside out, the structure closely connects visually the environment and the interior space, aiming to create a transparent and interactive high-quality work area for the users.

Located in Binjiang District, Hangzhou, with a total land area of 36,900sqm, the site is designated for green park, adminstation office, cultural and sports functions. A symmetrical architectural layout is adopted along the central axis to form a mirror image. The height of the building is aligned with the adjacent one to ensure balance and symmetry.
Our main goal through the construction of the project, both in terms of spatial form and function is to further improve the Central Government District of Hangzhou Riverside District. The spatial sequence is formed by the district government square, the administrative office center, the cultural center and the civic center, and the central green space of the ‘Gate of Wisdom’. This axis is planned to extend towards the banks of the Qiantang River in the future.

The project is adjacent to Beijing Xishan National Forest Park, which has a rich historical and cultural heritage. The design uses modern building materials and simple expressions to restore the memory of traditional sloped roofs, while dark materials reflect the heaviness of history and culture.
The characteristic of Beijing’s traditional architectural space is the “courtyard”, which is a relatively closed space. Traditional Chinese architecture respects the principles of balance and symmetry.
Inspired by the natural landscape, the design of the buildings adopts a step-down approach referencing the natural terraces shape. This allows the overall massing of the building to play a role in reducing the sense of volume.

The city of Shanghai, one of the major economic and population centers of China, has undergone a dramatic urban expansion and redevelopment of its downtown precinct since the 1990s. This profit-driven redevelopment model proved easy to implement, but had little regard for the preservation of the urban fabric or the historically significant identity of the city.
An essential requirement in the conservation of a heritage site is to preserve its historic condition. The historic condition of a site embodies its values, authenticity and integrity as they have evolved during the course of its history. Through good conservation practice, a site’s historic and cultural context and its cultural traditions are preserved and retained for the future generations.

The main challenge of this project were the tight budget and time allocated, so the maximum effect had to be achieved with the minimum of resources invested.
Moreover, a design suitable for young employees was preferred over a more classic approach. As a result, the design plays with the textured color paint and various wallpapers in order to avoid monotony. Also, standard system furniture was combined with custom made pieces which helped in maximizing the use of the space.

The site of the project is located in Xiaowu Shitang Village, in an area surrounded by mountains on three sides (north, south and west) and facing the sea towards east.
Although the two-story building was in a very poor condition, due to its architectural particularities a decision was made to try and save it. The strong vertical lines and minimall windows, as well as the small size courtyard in front of the main entrance, are elements that make it unique in the area. These characteristic elements were retained throughout the design process.
The main intervention is at the roof top level. The previous sloped roof was transformed into a terrace, taking advantage of the picturesque view and providing functions such as: bbq place and outdoor seating area. In terms of colors used, black and white represent the main theme.

The site of the project is located in Jiangsu Province, Lianyungang, China. The requirement was to redesign an existing five floors building hotel, both in terms of facade and interior space. The goal of this project was to propose a new, fresh design and the approach was a modern one as the client wanted to attract younger age toursits and new customers.
The renovation was carried out with the aim to give the hotel a brand-new image, while keeping the intervention minimal due to its tight budget and time frame.
The color palette uses warm colors and materials in order to achieve a cosy feeling and to provide highest level of comfort.

senior architect. designer mix-use, restoration concept 10,000 sqm
The redevelopment proposal for a village near Beijing presents a great opportunity of preservation throughout the large number of brick houses still standing in the area.
Rapid economic development in China has generated substantial demand for urban land, resulting in an unprecedented urbanization process. The expansion of urbanized cities has started to engulf rural areas, making the urban – rural boundary less and less conspicuous in China.
After the survey of the site was completed, we identified which of the exiting buildings are to be kept, removed or intervene upon based on the location within the site, structural integrity and the amount of architectural details preserved. An important design element is represented by the various textures created using the local materials such as the red brick.

architect. designer showroom completed 800 sqm
The project is located in Minhang District, Shanghai, China. The scope was to design a showroom and management office for the entire industrial office park. The concept of the building starts from a piece of paper folded in half. The pavilion is designed as floating above the water and touching the ground in two points.
The building has a simple structure system :
A: 900mm high concrete base, which can protect the wood from the rain and water.
B: wood bent structure with 3.6 meters distance. C: two way folded roof with skylight.
The wood columns take the vertical load, and a solid concrete core takes the horizontal load. The core is operating as a precise machine, carving the solid volume for the circulation, maximizing the function area and the views. The whole building is a wood pavilion with a clear logic, thus the interior design is treated in a simple way: exposing the original concrete, wood, steel materials and the joint as much as possible and only hiding the lights and technical equipments.

The project is located on Guoding Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai. The total GFA is about 1300 square meters. The original design of Tongzhou Building has five floors above ground and it was mainly used as office space and hotel.
The first stage of this project involved the facade redesign and then the interior decoration design.
Apart from preserving the original structure and satisfying the functional needs of the office, we also added common collaboration and resting spaces where people can work or engage in different activities.
Taking the public area as the core, we created different functional spaces in order to bring vitality into the new design.

The project is located 1.6 km from Disneyland - Shanghai and 500 meters from Kangxin Highway Station of Metro Line 11; it belongs to Zhangjiang Kangqiao, with a total area of 20442.57m².
Initially, all 11 builings were designated as office spaces but the owner later decided to change the function into apartments for young people due to the proximity to Disneyland in Shanghai.
Our design scope was to create a common area for the people living in the apartments located on the site. The pedestrian walkway in the center can be used to set up a ‘Rain Promenade’ to direct the flow of people from other buildings to buildings 8 and 9 so that people can use their public space.

Project transformation goals: From Vanke Office Head Quarters to International kindergartens, elementary schools and primary school.
Project positioning: mainly serving international and domestic families with high-end schooling needs.
Since it is a renovation project, how to meet the teaching requirements under current conditions and be able to meet the three-hour sunshine requirement is the biggest challenge of the design.
During the design process, through accurate sunlight calculations, we listed the scope of classrooms, and found the most suitable locations through screening, and achieved 26 classrooms.
Design features: we inserted the form of a sloped roof with traditional characteristics into the building in an abstract way. At the same time, a large-scale atrium is formed to bring sunlight and nature into the building.

The new museum represents an important knob along the bay which will activate the whole linear open space and the city. It’s waterfront location would act as a welcome center for visitors all year round becomeing the central gathering place for city residents of all ages and a must see destination. Beeing an urban space of great national and cultural significance, it forms a symbolic gateway to the city from the sea. The conceptual transition between spaces is transposed into our architectural design by using the arch shape simbolizing the natural element and the frame which sits for the city’s urban profile. The goal is to create a public space that both welcomes new visitors and serves as a key cultural destination for the community.
The interior space is defined by the arch shape in an attempt to organize the basic museum programs and also to explore additional programmatic possibilities. The highest arch of the museum marks the main exhibit area and provides a flexible exhibition space.

The building is like a living organism and it has a life cycle: birth, growing, getting old, ill and dying.
The renovation is meant to give a second life to the old building. The site is located in the Beijing conservation area. The design follows the city’s context, area requirements, roof form, building heights and view control requirements.
Based on the overall concept, we insert three movable metal boxes into the old buildings, making the whole space flexible and changeable.
The movable installation adapts to the different needs of usage like breathing in and out and making it feel truly alive.
