Muh Shoou Xixi

Muh Shoou originally means the last fruit left by farmers on the tree with the special intention of sharing it with animals in nature so as to pray for the harvest of the coming year. That’s just where the name of Muh Shoou Xixi comes. The architect attempts to present the natural beauty of Xixi Wetland - coldness, quietness, uniqueness, wildness and seclusion - to visitors through the design and evoke the resonance between human and the primitive nature through the architecture. While rambling in the Wetland, it's hidden in the dense forest quietly with poetic aesthetics.

The Peach Garden

In this project, the designer shows enough respect for the old house during the reconstruction. The addition part adopts the form of wood structure, which not only makes the connection between new and old buildings appear natural, but also makes the new part have a light feeling, as well as continuous space. At the foot of the mountains and the Great Wall, the transparent interface is impressive, especially when architecture and nature blend each other.

Renovation

Sun Shed

The sun shed renovation starts and finishes in the countryside. The design concept stems from a rural scene: the blue sky, innocent fields, buzzing frogs, the fragrant air in the shade of the trees. It is a common middle-axis banquet space model, adjusted to the central stage as the basis of the circular radiation type banquet space. It is a attempt on adaptive reuse of village renovation.

Faculty Architecture of Kigali

The agency responded to the international call for tenders launched in March 2012 by the Government of Rwanda for the design of a new school of architecture. This school, with a capacity of 600 students, will be established on a surface area of 5,600 sqm not far from the existing faculty. For this project the agency started from a simple volume on two levels that it has deformed like tectonics deforms the masses: pull on opposite sides and a central fault is created, this is the outer living space of students.

Guilin

After completion, the exterior facade will be clean, and there will not be black structural adhesive line or metal snap cap on the semi-exposed framing glass curtain wall. Double-sided printing is adopted for the outermost glass ribs on the building elevation: The two sides of the glass ribs are printed with color-glazed strips different in height, and there are different hill shapes on either side, making the surface patterns more three-dimensional. When taking a walk outside the building, people can see different hill shades at different locations.

Borgio Verezzi

Borgio Verezzi is a residential building with twenty-two floors, in the city of Caxias do Sul, in the extreme south of Brazil. The choice for a differentiated residential product was a conviction of the developer and the architectural firm since its earliest studies. Volumetrically, the building is constituted of a vertical monolith of which they were suppressed volumes in their corners where are located their balconies. These balconies are pushed and stretched for a better viewing and sunlight of each plane.
