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.

Sky Lounge

Sky Lounge is a rooftop restaurant and bar in Kolhapur, India. The venue has 1800 square meters of indoor space and a 150 square meter open terrace. The ceiling is formed by 20521 recycled paper tubes hung as repeated modules, which create a parametric pattern. The tubes refer to the local textile industry, where similar tubes are used to roll fabric. The pattern moves with the natural breeze. Basalt stone walls and a grey ceramic floor complement the raw paper tubes. Separate zones include a pizza counter, an enclosed bar and a sun deck.

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.
