Xinhe Group HQ

Xinhe Group Headquarters is an office complex in Fuyang, Zhejiang Province. The site is surrounded by small hills and bordered by water on three sides. Six buildings of three to five floors are arranged along the lake and follow the terrain, which secures natural light and wide lake views for the office areas. The volume is divided into smaller parts and landscaped rather than built as one large block. The land was once a habitat for water birds, and their spread wings inspired the flying bird concept. Stone, wood, glass and metal are combined throughout.

Xi'an Qujiang Art Center

Xi'an Qujiang Art Center is an exhibition hall located in Qujiang New District, Xi'an, China. The building appears to float above a green slope and forms a clear visual marker beside the urban road. Double-layer full glass curtain walls blur the boundary between the interior and the surrounding parks. A suspension structure carries the three exhibition levels, and the suspended columns are reduced to 200 mm in diameter, so the space is almost free of columns. A gentle trail through the urban green belt leads visitors into the site.

Yamate

They studied the angles of the summer and winter sunrises entering the site, and designed a floor plan that captures the sunrise throughout the year. The walls were glazed to create a sunrise-filled living space. Then, to protect the living space from the summer sun and rain, they planned an independent large roof. The roof is not an enclosed space, but an open space where wind and consciousness can pass through. They hope that with the construction of this building, the residents will feel more light and wind than ever before, and that their daily life will be better.

The Ripple Hospice

Hao Zhong Hospice Architecture Monday, 24 August 2026

The Ripple

The Ripple is a hospice proposal structured by a concentric spatial system generated from a central water court. Located in Chinatown, New York City, the design redefines end-of-life care as an urban civic experience rather than an isolated institution. Layers of thresholds, courtyards, and timber enclosures guide movement from public life toward quiet reflection. Integrated daylight, water, and passive environmental strategies create sensory calm, supporting privacy, orientation, and emotional wellbeing through architecture itself.
