This is a 156m² cafe located on the first floor of a shopping mall, comprising interior space and outdoor seating. The design translates DOT’s signature symbol—a round "dot"—into a formal language embedded throughout the space, reinforcing the brand identity through spatial syntax, additional components, and furniture.
The scheme introduces three semicircular components that intersect the space along the X, Y, and Z axes, guiding circulation and functional layout.
The Z-axis semicircle forms the ordering counter with display functions, using its curve to direct customer queues and integrate brand storytelling during waiting.
The Y-axis semicircular ceiling at the center, combined with a merchandising island and photo backdrop, creates the shop’s iconic visual scene. The merchandising island positioned in the center of the cafer will be intensively utilized as a hot-spot of visitors. One side displays brand merchandise such as cups, magazines, and other visual creative products; one side for seasonal coffee beans piles; the other two sides will provide seatingfor individual customers.
The X-axis counter table extends from the floor to the exterior window, connecting to the urban interface and enabling dynamic dining experiences.
Material selection is restrained, primarily featuring warm-toned travertine, limestone, wood veneer, metal panels, and stone-textured coatings. By varying texture roughness and color depth, the design modulates spatial ambiance.

Role: Concept Design, Carbon Neutral Research
The project is located Shuanggou Town, Jiangsu Province, where boasts a unique natural envionment. It is renowned as a hub for white liquor production, as well as a national demonstration town for rural photovoltaic power generation.
As the flagship project for the white liquor brand 'Guanyun', the design aims to create a high-efficiency, zero-carbon, technology-intensive smart distillery.
The project first re-engineered each stage of liquor production, designing equipment and spatial layouts based on time and space requirements, reducing land use by sixfold. Besides, the symmetrical annular structure divides the factory into 7 repetitive production units and 1 exhibition/R&D unit. The production chain progresses concentrically from the outer ring inward, creating an efficient workflow that spans indoor and outdoor spaces.
Through highly compact transportation route planning, passive energy-saving building design, smart and automated production systems, and extensive photovoltaic panels on the roof, a zero-carbon factory is created to achieve whole-life carbon emission reduction.
The architecture is derived from the liquor-making process, while dissolved (its environmental impact) via zero-carbon technology.

CHONG'AN TEMPLE
Time: Jan 2021 - Feb 2023 (Built)

Role: Project Manager - Overall Proposal, Team Cordination, Design Visualization + Presentation, Documentation, Collaborate with Clients and Construction Team.
Chong'an Temple is a historic cultural district in downtown Wuxi. It is the city's birthplace and centre of commerce, culture, and daily life, meanwhile contains Wuxi's largest urban green space.The block is half 'market' (commercial streets) and half 'garden' (public park). However, due to inefficient resource utilization, outdated aesthetics, and low-quality homogeneous businesses, the district has almost no competitiveness against surrounding shopping malls.
This renovation project aims to create a garden city shopping district, developing cultural IPs, enhancing public services, and upgrading commercial offerings to restore Chong'an Temple's public vitality and economic appeal.
This is a government-led renovation project with a general construction contractor and design subcontractor, requiring thorough consideration of constructability and cost-effectiveness during the design phase. The redesign focuses on: above/underground commercial spaces, parking and facilities, streetscape façades, and overall commercial atmosphere. To ensure cohesive yet cost-effective revitalization, building renovations will adopt phased implementation (by zone and priority), tiered intervention intensity, and balanced commercial redistribution.
Existing Condition
The building blocks the Chong'an Temple, with low-end business types and messy signboards, which affects the tone of the block. Space of the building is mainly for circulation rather than commercial activities.
Strategy - Enhance Visibility & Enhance Commercial Value
The effective operating area of the building was integrated and reorganized into three stores and one anchor store, with a 34% increase of commercial area in total; in terms of image, a series of retreats were formed to expose the Chong'an Temple, enhancing its visibility along the street. The value increases accordingly.

Project: TIANHUA Architecture & Planning
Role: Research, Concept Design, Visualization
Low-carbon architecture is the global trend. TIANHUA is committed to carbon neutrality research — what do Net-Zero Buildings look like? Do they share common design features? What scientific principles underlie them? In this project, we focus on active energy-saving strategies, specifically Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). By conducting extensive analysis of advanced eco-buildings worldwide and deconstructing zero-carbon design methods, a universal toolkit is compiled with the goal of efficiently apply low-carbon design formulas in future schemes.
In TIANHUA City, a hypothetical urban prototype, we selected a residential plot and used a 70m × 70m × 70m circular cube as a research prototype to explore photovoltaic-integrated architectural form-finding, aiming to balance living quality and energy efficiency to shape a new aesthetic for future housing.
In terms of photovoltaics, the design maximizes effective PV area through optimal solar incidence angles, expanded physical surface area, shadow reduction, and automation. In terms of residential requirements, the building's orientation, lighting, ventilation, density, zoning, traffic flow, and landscape need to be considered. Meanwhile, site-specific factors such as sun path, boundaries, surrounding obstructions/resources also need to be analyzed.
By integrating these three dimensions, we aim to create a model "human habitat" that maximizes energy, economic, and socio-cultural benefits.
