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.
Continue readingA modern conversion of a dated tract home is now home to a family whose goals were to capture the city views and have a seamless connection from interior to exterior. This project exemplifies the potentials of a well though out remodel. What the original house once lacked is now in its past. Natural light floods all interior spaces. Composed volumetric interiors have established hierarchy and order to the home. Large openings now face the dominate view and can open up to connect the exterior to the interior.
Continue readingStudent campus BaseCamp Lyngby is built on a relatively flat site while being well integrated into green Lyngby neighborhood. The building rises slowly from ground level to the maximum height of six floors, inviting both inhabitants and visitors to enjoy the multiple green courtyards or to take a stroll along the serpentine path running in full length at the roof. Great views and gardens make for an interesting walk in the park like landscape. The curved shape of the building wraps around smaller courtyards creating well defined intimate spaces for the students to meet, read or simply relax.
Continue readingThe building consists of seven volumes of exposed concrete with different heights. Each of them represents a unique exhibition space and to explore the relation between each one, an illuminated spatial distribution structure was created with a glass covering that leads to the access of each of these volumes. This connection axis explores the contrasts of light versus dark in the exhibition spaces. The building adapts to the present without forgetting the important Romanesque past, creating an atmospheric symbiosis between different times.

Extended facades of arenas & stables directed to administrative composite core. Six-sided building as crystal grid rests in wooden frame as in necklace. Wall triangles decorated with scattering of glass as emerald details. Curved white construction highlights main entrance. Facades grid also is part of inner space, where environment perceived through transparent web. Interiors continue theme of wooden structures, using scale of elements to more proportionate human scale.
Continue readingA grid of slender steel pipes laid out in a staggered manner minimise the building footprint while providing the rigidity and stability to hoist the living space above this. In keeping with the minimalist icon approach, this farmhouse has been designed within the framework of the existing trees to reduce the internal heat gain. This has been further aided by the intentional staggering of the Fly ash blocks on the facade with the resultant void and shadow naturally cooling the building. Elevating the house also ensured that the Landscape was uninterrupted and the views were unrestricted.
