The R Series

The R Series is a modular rack system designed for automated measurement technology. The R Series offers upward and downward compatibility within the product family. Alongside a centered 19 inch rack, the Rack R90 and the Rack R180 provide one or two accessible installation spaces on each side for electrical switchgear assemblies, IT systems or similar equipment. The separation of the 19 inch core from the installation spaces allows sensitive measuring devices to be combined with conventional electrical devices in a single mobile system. The structure is made of lightweight aluminum.

Timber and Table

Timber and Table is a restaurant created through the adaptive reuse of a vernacular courtyard house in Zhejiang, China. Original timber beams, brick walls, tiled roofs and worn thresholds were retained and restored with traditional craft techniques. Concealed steel supports and modern building systems were added to meet current safety and service needs. A transitional space and a staircase connect the front and rear volumes. The central courtyard was reimagined as a reflecting pool with koi fish, offering a quiet pause for guests.

Leaves

Leaves is a club house for a residential community, located halfway up a mountain in Changsha, China. The interior covers 2000 square meters on two floors. The first floor holds a reception lobby, a swimming pool and a gymnasium, and the second floor is a leisure area with a book bar. A lighting installation of custom made LED leaves is held by white painted aluminum steel cables that also act as conductors. Light control technology shifts the glow of each leaf to imitate autumn wind. The rolling ceiling of the former building is retained to recall a wavy mountain.

Luoyue

Luoyue is a resort hotel interior design located on Hailing Island. The lobby and restaurant spaces draw on local fisherman culture and coastal scenery. Wavy imitation wood grain film covers surfaces and recalls the form of sea water. Wave shaped transparent resin lamps light the lobby ceiling. Materials such as plastic rattan, handmade brick, flexible stone and marble were tested for resistance to the humid and salty air. Check-in desks are arranged in several groups to reduce congestion during peak arrival periods. The project covers 3000 square meters.
