Haikou Bay

Haikou Bay is a five-star hotel located in Hainan, China. The design is based on the sail, forming an S-shaped mass that links the city and the ocean. The long building is cut by three urban view corridors, which open views and reduce the apparent street scale. A single-loaded corridor plan gives every guest room an ocean view, and the average building depth is 14 metres. The sea-front facades recall ocean waves, while the city-side facades stress horizontal lines. The oval ballroom carries a sloping green roof, reached by a spiral ramp for public activities.

Sino German Creative Park Four

Sino German Creative Park Four is a museum and cultural exchange center in Qingdao, China. The building stands on a north slope, facing the main park entrance, with a river landscape to the south. A Y-shaped layout gives the building three facades of floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls, each turned toward a different landscape area of the park. The three tips of the Y shape are slightly raised to form a sculptural outline. Fair-faced concrete shapes the interior and echoes the outdoor brick curtain wall. The design also improves the microclimate and stores rainwater.
