Tokumitsu Taanto

Tokumitsu Taanto is a public restroom interior located in Hakusan, Ishikawa, Japan. The room covers 25 square meters and has a ceiling height of 2.90 meters. More than 3,000 gold leaf tiles cover the walls. Each tile is a 200 millimeter square porcelain tile with a textured surface, finished with hand-applied Kanazawa gold leaf. The tiles are set against a dark background, and indirect lighting is arranged to reveal the reflective quality of the gold. The design applies a traditional Japanese craft to a contemporary public space.

Mirabilis Bar and Dusk

Mirabilis Bar and Dusk is an interior design project for a hilltop restaurant and bar set within the national park of Mount Faber. The space is divided into two focal sections. Dusk serves as the dining area, and The Mirabilis Bar serves as the lounge area. Both areas open toward seafront and city views. The project also includes an expanded professional kitchen and a members-only cigar room. The concept is drawn from Mirabilis Jalapa, a cluster of fragrant flowers that blooms in the afternoon, matching the opening hour of the venue.

Pavilion

The Pavilion project is poised to set new standards for architecture in Erbil. The design team created functional and calming spaces using eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices. The project includes a beautiful lagoon and social spaces, fostering community interaction and engagement, alongside needed residential areas. The design reflects local culture and international standards. Large, open spaces let in natural light and fresh air, while strategically placed greenery enhances well-being. Energy-efficient systems and renewable sources minimize the environmental impact.

Flowing Art

Flowing Art is a corporate headquarters office located in Shanghai. The interior is organized into four areas: a work area, a reception area, meeting and multifunctional rooms, and a leisure and social zone. Smooth curves and original artworks blur spatial boundaries and support an open and interactive atmosphere. Materials include shadow wood veneer, ripple-patterned jade stone, antique bronze stainless steel, and wood-plastic composite bamboo charcoal wall panels. Furniture such as the butterfly desk is flexible, so the layout can be adjusted as workplace needs change.

Numa Beach

Its neutral palette provides visual cleanliness, connecting with the sea view. Functional spaces have been designed with aesthetic unity, combining the restaurant, bar, seaside relaxation area, dance floor, and a rest area that also serves as an art gallery. The floor joints are filled with marine sand to blend with the surroundings. The lighting adapts to natural sunlight and creates conceptual effects, as seen in the access tunnel to the wet rooms.

Study is an interior design for a six floor reading space in Taiwan, covering 496 square feet. The project applies the idea of home to every level, so each floor offers a different feeling. The first floor holds the main reading area, where a stepped platform suits children. A tall book wall emphasizes the high ceiling. The mezzanine combines reading, meeting and dining functions. The second floor is a study with a book wall, a glass display case and a fireplace. Transparent glass connects the levels, while soft gray blue tones and light wood veneer create a calm atmosphere.
