Boyue Palace

This project that is located in Shenzhen Expo Bay, benefits from the area's ecology and urban energy.

A heavy spatial wall is replaced by the wall of mossy landscape. Carpet, curved furniture, art wall paintings, and vegetation convey a relaxing and pleasant vibe. By doing this, it is possible to give individuals a rich immersive experience as well as enhance its commercial value.

The design of Tick Tock Watch Gallery located in Yazd, Iran, in a small space with an emphasis on a simple, low-cost, and modern visual effect, was a special experience.

Curvo

This show unit is inspired by the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, where the balance of organic curves and paneling seamlessly links the different areas of the interior. To capture the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, the main colour palette is composed of earthy, muted tones, such as browns, greys, beiges and a hint of natural green, reminiscent of traditional Japanese homes built from earth and mud. With an harmonious balance of these colours, the space will be infused with harmony and realness, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Hefei, a city with a 2000 year history, is where this project is located. With luxury, ecological harmony, and humanistic art as its hallmarks, it seeks to offer residents a high quality life. Among others, the art installation is curved and intertwined, as if forming a metaphorical wheel of time and space. The bright crystal lampposts enhance the space's transparency and openness while displaying an aesthetic style that is echoed in modern furniture. By adhering to the dot, line, and plane design and shunning flashy and stereotype, the designer aims to make it an era coordinate of Hefei.
