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.

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.
