Landscape Design for Shaoxing

Shaoxing Hotel Landscape is a garden design created for a hotel at the foot of Fushan Mountain in Shaoxing, China. The design follows the concept of green mountains and clear water, and connects the site with the local culture and the surrounding scenery. The landscape unfolds around three courtyards, named Qingbai, Ningcui and Tingyu, which express the themes of mountain, water and rain. Water, stones and bonsai form a scene like a three-dimensional scroll painting in front of the lobby. Existing trees are kept, and framed views link the courtyards with the distant mountain.

Glass Wall

Glass Wall is a residential house built in Himeji, Japan in 2022. The house stands on a hill in a quiet residential area and uses the slope of the land to secure privacy. A reinforced concrete structure was chosen to provide large interior spaces and high resistance to earthquakes. The front elevation is divided into three box shapes set at different heights to avoid a monotonous appearance. One section holds a glass wall that lights an atrium space. The wood grain of cedar boards was transferred to the concrete walls so the surfaces do not look cold.

The Exo Towers

The Exo Towers is comprised of two towers and linked together by a 70m-high central glazed atrium. As the digital finance center of the Bank of Ruifeng, the building utilizes an external structural system that greatly reduces the number of columns of the typical floor, creating large and open office space, allowing for the ongoing flexible division of functional layout to cope with the banking business adjustments brought on by new digital challenges. The Exo Towers therefore derives its architectural language from the manner in which the space and structure are completely integrated.
