Obori Soma Ware Matsunaga Kiln

Matsunaga Kiln was located in Fukushima, Japan, producing the designated traditional crafts with more than 300 years of history. One proprietary feature of Obori Soma Ware is its double-layered structure, which enables this daily-use ceramics to hold boiling water and prevents it from cooling down. Designers wanted to incorporate and express this feature in our architecture. Designers believe that the different scales of architecture and ceramics, in the same composition, influence each other.

Carefree

The lobby is divided into three areas, that is, refreshment area, wine area and private room. According to the business hours and regional characteristics, the three areas have their own beautiful scenery. The wall decoration of the refreshment area is with Chinese carved fence, supplemented by dim light to highlight the deep and secluded feeling. The private room did not use splendid decorations, but designed the space into a container for people and food to set off the delicate taste of food by broadening the image extension.

The Animal Backbone

This once the first slaughterhouse in the Far East, where countless lives were got killed, it is fascinating but attracts a lot of tourists. Today, this building has become a famous cultural and creative industry center in Shanghai. Respecting the tens of thousands of animal souls, we are always looking for a way to have a commemorative architecture, trying to make an icy building to echo the concrete, and to arouse the painful memories and facts of killing animals because of lust.

Origin

Space is created like a nest, an egg shell, or a fruit kernel; It is like stable environments that can well cover and protect, like a mother's warm womb or like a plant's pod. All of them are endowed with the intention to place life in the safe and relaxing space to receive treatment. With regard to space planning, they have, on one hand, retained the important professional movement and function of medical equipment, while also trying to challenge and obtain the very subtle commonality between rational logic and sensual imagination.

An Villa Aesthetics Pavilion

With spatial scenes extending Shaoxing's historical and cultural endowments and natural context, the project is expected to transform naturalistic oriental sentiments into contemporary life aesthetics through design and artistic expressions. The design weakens the commercial and marketing purposes of the project by creating inclusive spatial experience, which evokes strong emotional resonance of users in a warm and silent way.

Sunac Guangshen Longshan

Order is a necessary condition for a sense of ritual. The wooden ceiling is used as the design language throughout the whole project. The shape is full of changes, and the geometric shape mobilizes the atmosphere of the space. The circular arch elements are used to break the monotonous and long space at the end, giving the space a sense of extension and enhancing the limitation of the space.
