The Gaiety

The Gaiety is a sales center built in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China. The main building covers 500 square meters and is shaped by three-dimensional folding techniques. The roof is folded so that the northwest corner drops to form a double-sloping roof, while the northeast corner rises to mark the hall entrance. Stone curtain walls are combined with glass curtain walls, and the roof marble is beveled so that roof and wall read as one surface. A water surface reflects the building, and the divided blocks form a courtyard that separates two functions.

Cetacean

As a temporary and yet to be completed project. The cultural building is expected to be in Iceland as a travel destination. The bionic form of the whale tail and skeleton became the language of this building. The whole building is eco-friendly. All materials can be recycled and use natural light. Not only will the designers be creating architecture in yet another remarkable landscape, but they will also take part in increasing the understanding of whales and the preservation of marine life.

The Lesser Polish Eaves Cottage

The Lesser Polish Eaves Cottage is a house which was inspired by the Polish wooden arcade architecture. The search for regional features characteristic for single-family housing led designer to discover forgotten traditional eaves houses of the region. The design was created in order to accommodate a 4-person family space, located on the unusual long and narrow plot of irregular shape. There were separated as many as five different levels, legally falling within the definition of a two-story building.

River Sea

River Sea is a villa located on Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The site lies near the mouth of a river, and the axis of the plan runs from north to south toward the water. The building is divided into three parts: an entrance building, a guest building and a main building. Two courtyards separate the three parts, and a path connects them. Along the path, the boundary between inside and outside becomes soft. The walls are covered with border tiles made from local Awaji roof tiles. The single storey limits the effect on the surroundings.

Espacio Kaab

Espacio Kaab is a house designed for a young couple on a sloping site beside a river in Nogueras, Colima, Mexico. The design combines a Japanese influence with local Mexican building traditions. Stone, earth and wood are used together with steel and concrete, so that the house blends visually with the surrounding landscape. Durable stone, concrete and Chukum stucco were selected for outdoor areas, while wood and wicker were placed in protected spaces. The same natural stone floor continues inside and outside, softening the boundary between the house and its setting.
