The Gaiety

The project adopts three-dimensional folding design techniques, creates simple and clean lines appearing like distant mountains, and outlines a sculpture-like building with exquisite and delicate texture and a sense of purity. The combination of stone and frameless ultra-clear glass highlights the building's minimalist, elegant and luxury quality, well fitting people's demand for a low-key and understated luxury life. The demonstration area adopts a semi-open layout, which gives the main building a wider view and better expresses the integration among people, architecture, and nature.

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

The site is located near the estuary. The plan divides the building into three main uses. The three buildings are kept apart by the courtyard. The path runs through the three buildings and the two courtyards, connecting the spaces. On the flow line of the path, the boundary between the inside and the outside becomes ambiguous. The wall is covered with border tiles made from local Awaji roof tiles. In each case, it is not the traditional way of using Japanese architecture, but the way of using it as a resort in this place in Awaji. That's a fusion of architectural vernacular and modern.
