Kaizen Campus

The main focus points of the design of Kaizen Campus are aesthetics, environmental impact and user experience. The building has been designed to be a landmark but also functional and user friendly. All interior spaces benefit from natural light and air flow and all three floors are interconnected either from the interior or with exterior ramps. The facade design provides shading and filters the noise while accentuating the elliptical shape and multi-directionality of the building via the repetition of vertical louvers that follow its organic geometry.

Natatorium of Southeast University

The Natatorium of Southeast University is located on the Jiulonghu Campus. The design uses continuous arches to eliminate the sense of alienation from the volume, like a flower, woven together in 7 repeating forms. Fluid water, moving people and static buildings, gray concrete and blue water, sunlight refracted by louvers, and shadows formed by geometry, all of which stimulate a strong sense of place. The structure is in line with the mechanical requirements, and the facade uses a large area of glazing, which forms an interaction between behaviors and sights of the people inside and outside.

Twenty Five Street Home

Manhattan's High Line materializes in a Brazilian city. Twenty Five Street Home is a project that idealizes harmony between human beings and nature, without giving up high technology and the sophistication of living well. Inspired by the famous tourist spot in New York, a space was presented where families could experience spaces (private and communal), without losing connection with their natural habitat and with technology combined to bring comfort to everyday life. The enterprise is the harmony of opposites, the search for more, without forgetting the essential. It's nature inviting.

Gushan

The sea, the sky, and the landscape are intertwined and merged by Monet's brush. The only way to achieve integration is to make the building invisible and blur the boundaries, the sea, the activity, the flowing light, the boat, and the landscape. Viewing the sea is to enjoy a mood. Transparency is less about the beauty of distance. By fused glass and double sandblasted glass wall, different looks of sunlight, climate, and reflection angles present different moods. The sea has different colors and faces every day.

House Symbiosis

House Symbiosis is a double residency, designed to accommodate two sibling families seeking to foster close bonds while preserving individual privacy. The house responds to the evolving demands of contemporary living, emphasizing familial bonds and offering a nuanced balance between communal and individual living. The primary challenge involved navigating the delicate equilibrium between privacy and socialization for the two families. Architectural experimentation with geometry, spatial orientation, facades and volumetric massing address this challenge.

Black Monolithic Wall

This sculptural black residence was planned in a quiet residential area of Tokyo. The site is narrow at the entrance and elongates towards the back, forming a slender shape. While complying with Japanese architectural regulations, such as shadow regulation on neighboring lands and building height restrictions, the design aims to create dynamic spaces that capitalize on this slender site shape. The approach features a monolithic black wall integrated with the architecture, making the exterior appearance striking, while the cantilevered stairs leading to the entrance enrich the sequence.
