Multifunctional Building

East China Grand Canyon Visitor Center

The client hopes to build a landmark building to drive the local tourism economy. This is a multi-functional building. Breaking conventions, the building adopts an S-shaped streamline form connecting the folk culture center, tourism reception center, exhibition hall, digital nomad office and hotel. This is an ecological and organic building. Through terrain analysis, a 500-meter scenic ramp extending from the ground to the highest point of the roof was designed, and freely opened to the surrounding communities, where villagers can exercise and relax.

Wooden Axis Large Roof

The site is located along an arterial road connecting the city center and the city center, with an urban planning road to the south that is scheduled to be widened, and future development is expected. In planning a new regional medical center, we were conscious of creating a space that is distinctly different from commercialistic road service architecture, with the warmth of wood and a gentle welcome for patients The three buildings are connected by a wooden Sunoko design code.

Weekend House

Villa A

The villa overlooks a great view of the Pacific Ocean, not far from the town of Hayama, the birthplace of Japan's yachting culture. The villa's design is a sculptural form that is appropriate for this spectacular natural setting, with a vaulted roof and a series of arches that symbolize the image of the white, rippling sea. The curved arches of the CLT (cross-laminated timber) roof give a sense of spaciousness to the interior. The result is a villa that perfectly suits a laid-back lifestyle and provides a deep connection to the blue waters at its doorstep.

Serpentine House

The architectural gesture of a long L shaped flowing form along the two main edges of the site seeks to create a threshold between the surrounding scenery and the resulting negative, a courtyard of similar scale to the building footprint. This fluid form narrows and widens to create tension with the enclosed courtyard but is rigid along the perimeter of the site, forming a well-defined edge. The building form stretches through a series of large pergolas to cover parts of the courtyard and to create a rather staged sequence of closed, open and semi open spaces.

Animal Care Building

Pet Resource Center

As the first building of its kind, the Pet Resource Center is a revolution in the animal care industry. With kennels and cages intentionally omitted, Its function is similar in many ways to an animal shelter, but its fundamental philosophy is the polar opposite. Long term goal; after 150 years of shelters that are modeled on short-term stays, Best Friends is changing that paradigm. Animals visibly decay in health and behavior when kept in cages and kennels. Best Friends have developed a better and smarter way with a goal of No-Kill by 2025.
