Yufengyuan

Yufengyuan is a restaurant interior covering 1100 square meters. The design refers to the culture of the Yellow River. A passage of 50 meters follows the line of the river through the space. Eight metal boxes of different heights are placed along the passage. Each box seats one family and is named after a small creature, such as a butterfly, a frog or a bee. The finish of each box follows the character of the creature. All boxes are raised, so entering a box becomes a moment of ritual. The main materials are terrazzo, steel plate, bamboo and latex paint.

Modern Forest

Aesthetic of Modern Forest is the design of the shared public areas of a residential building in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The lobby uses an irregular facade and a divided ceiling to suggest the image of a forest. Floor to ceiling windows connect the interior with the outdoor landscape. Stone shaped couches of various sizes are placed in front of the windows. The front desk has an irregular cut form with a marble finish that matches the wall material. Materials include metal, wood veneer, ceramic tiles and stone. The design favors simplicity, durability and low maintenance.

Tanyue Mansion

Tanyue Mansion is a sales center for a residential property in Nanning, Guangxi, China. The interior covers 680 square meters and follows a symmetrical layout inspired by ancient oriental academy buildings made of wood, stone and brick. The plan moves from the sand table to the negotiation area and then to the book bar. Screens recall the roof structure of the Zhuang, one of the minority groups in China. Two art installations, one based on calligraphy and one on water, mark the secondary lobby and the reception desk. The design joins local cultural elements with modern space functions.

Lesprit cafe

Lesprit Cafe is a cafe interior located on the ground floor of a building in Tainan City, Taiwan. The space covers 66 square meters and includes a kitchen, a bar and a dining area. Flat marble, matt brass and black and white tile flooring create a calm and warm atmosphere. Laminated board is used for easy maintenance. Blue paint relates the interior to the exterior of the building. A wooden partition was removed to widen the space, and situational lighting with spotlights and chandeliers adds softness. Furniture from the earlier cafe is reused to limit cost and keep a consistent style.

Nostalgia

The industrial landscapes of the 1960-1970s inspired this project. The metal structures made of hot-rolled steel create a realistic intonation of anti-utopia. A rusty profiled sheet of old fences creates an atmosphere of complete freedom of expression. Open technical communications, shabby plaster and granite countertops add to the interior industrial chic of the sixties.

Lvdu Yanmingxu

Lvdu Yanmingxu is an interior design project for a sales center in the Yanming Lake Scenic Area of Zhengzhou, China. The design explores the relevance of modernism within the local geographical and cultural context. The beauty of the architecture is shown through changes of light and shadow. The form draws on the mortise and tenon joint used in traditional Chinese timber structures, reinterpreted with modern methods. The open space is full of light and surrounded by layers of greenery. Nature, light, sound and air create a calm and relaxing atmosphere.
