Memories of Water

Memories of Water is an exhibition gallery located on the shoreline in Qingdao, China. The building offers panoramic views of the ocean within an urban setting. A curtain wall system with steel fins is used on the first floor to minimize the structure. On the second floor, ultra-transparent glass is installed without fins or frames, so the boundary between indoor and outdoor space is reduced. A cantilever structure creates a floating effect. A water landscape surrounds the building and eases the transition from the city to nature. The gross built area is 1800 square meters.

Mountain House in Mist

Mountain House in Mist is a countryside book house located in an ancient village in Wuyi. The building joins traditional culture with modern design through a new application of traditional materials, a transformed roof and translucent polycarbonate boards on the facades. During the day, the boards create a soft translucent atmosphere inside. At night, light passes outward and the book house becomes a visual center of the village. The book house offers a calm place to read and aims to bring young people and children back to the mountains.

Oriental Movie Metropolis

Embedded within Starry Island's bay, the Oriental Movie Metropolis Grand Theatre was designed to present the force and spirit of the coastal city. Appearing as if sculpted by nature, the building seamlessly blends in with the symbol of a transfusion of Qingdao culture. With the aid of symbolic representation, the theatre deepens the emotional connection between the visitors and environment. The architecture is consequently theatrical in both its performance of narrative spaces and its context within the landscape.

Monolithic House

Monolithic House is a private villa in Jeddah. The building is composed of three main masses that are shifted to create external courts, following the arrangement of traditional Arabic houses. The envelope uses semi-transparent screens with an old Saudi pattern inspired by the Mashrabiya. A motorized openable system regulates sunlight, gives shading and privacy on the south facade, and allows natural ventilation. The structure is concrete, finished with honed travertine stone, black steel, stucco and walnut wood. Separate entrances serve family, guests and services.

Pingjiang Times

Pingjiang Times is a mixed-use urban complex that combines a hotel, a retail center, serviced apartments and office space. The design is inspired by the movement and flow of water. Overlapping curves shape the building form and the facade system, and the same circular geometry continues through the landscape platforms across the site. The building functions are arranged in a layered X shape, so hotel rooms face the lake, while an internal retail street runs below the tower. A landscape platform above an existing pump station links the site to the waterfront.

Fondazione Bertarelli

Forum Fondazione Bertarelli is a concert hall for 350 people on the slopes of Mount Amiata in the Tuscan Maremma, Italy. The hall has an organic shape based on golden proportions, so sound is amplified by the form and by natural materials instead of mechanical systems. The main structure is coloured reinforced concrete, covered with insulating materials and bricks, while curved oxidised steel plates guide visitors towards the foyer. The building stands within an olive grove and replaces an earlier plan for nine residential buildings on the same site.
