Tofana

In the demolition and reconstruction of the Hotel Tofana in San Cassiano in Badia Valley (Italy), the surrounding mountain range served as inspiration for the new architecture and interior design. The concept of the new -Explorer's Home- transfers the athletic spirit of the owner family to the entire building... From building to landscape: the design celebrates the evolutionary transformation of an originally compact building - into a layered structural landscape that sustainably reflects its surroundings... the house brings nature into the house.

Maison Francois

The design of Maison Francois aims to evolve the brasserie genre. Rather than looking to the Art Deco period for inspiration, GSL embraced Postmodernism and Brutalism, most notably referencing Ricardo Bofill’s La Fabrica in Barcelona, with its grand terracotta arches and rough cement ceiling. The layout of the restaurant nevertheless follows a classic brasserie format, with noble materials throughout and details that evoke iconic establishments of the past.

The design concept of this facility is to have you spend an elegant time in a quiet bamboo forest and to get rid of your daily stress.

The new building combines contemporary forms with traditional techniques, evoking a strong sense of place through the simplicity and porosity of its interior and exterior volumes. Essentially a simple timber shed, the structure uses the studio's trademark tilted and twisted geometry to create visual drama, as part of the wild landscape.

Cafe La Rosee

The project is located in the famous commercial district of Beijing, China. As a restaurant project, its functional zones are natural and smooth. It uses the lines of walls, roofs and floors as a natural guide to distinguish the two sides of the restaurant from the combination of dining places, space shapes and shop names.

The droplet type of ceiling lamp also brings unique style features to the restaurant and increases the guests'appetite for meals.
