Municipal Art Society Headquarters

The Municipal Art Society is a nonprofit organization in New York City that encourages thoughtful planning and urban design. The architect designed a building where a gradual change of privacy is clearly stated: from the public half-underground café to the office on the fourth floor. Among all the programs, the civic forum is the most important, which is completely exposed to the neighborhood and designed in a truly welcoming gesture geometrically and spatially to encourage all citizens to interact and participate for the great cause of preserving the rich history and culture of the city.

Regala Skycity

Regala Skycity is a hotel located in the Skycity area of Hong Kong International Airport. The building stands on a triangular site and follows a tripartite division of base, shaft and crown. The form was inspired by an optical crystal prism, and the reflective glass facade mirrors the surrounding sky. The external envelope uses a unitized curtain wall system, with units assembled off site to reduce construction time on site. The hotel contains 1,208 guest rooms, a swimming pool, a rooftop jogging path and three restaurants.

Dongguan Riverside

The project is located in Xincheng District, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China. It is a sports center that integrates residents' cultural activities, healthy sports, and livable waterfront life from multiple angles. The vision of the project is to turn the green sports center into a natural oxygen bar on the corner of the city, integrating fitness, sports, parking, and transportation hubs into one. Dissolve the building volume, integrate the landscape into life, and make the design deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Blended Into The Forest

House Blended Into The Forest is a building that was created in the surroundings of an old pine forest with respect for nature. The basic assumption when designing this house was to integrate it into the existing trees and unite it with the forest. This idea was realized thanks to the use of a material that seems to be alien to the forest, i.e. sheet metal. The implementation showed that the house almost grows out of nature. The interior of the house is white and green dominates it thanks to large windows.

The Suburban House

The designers' intention was to create a building that would improve the surrounding space. Due to the intensive development. Its terrace is surrounded by the walls of the building to ensure the privacy of the users, and on the north side it has only narrow windows, obscuring the surrounding intense development. The main openings are facing south, providing a view of the plot.
