The Circus

The Circus is a vacation house designed as a relaxed retreat for a client who enjoys cars and for visiting friends. The guiding concept is spending time with cars. Unlike a typical house with a built-in garage, the layout blurs the boundaries between people, cars, and rooms. The form is inspired by a circus tent. A large volume with twenty-four sides contains an independent inner volume shaped like a wide round table, which forms the second story. The supporting core uses no posts, and tension is maintained by slanted outer walls.

Vicutu Concept

Vicutu Concept is a flagship store for a fashion brand, built in the Daxing District of Beijing. The store has two floors and a total area of 1680 square metres. The facade uses a large-scale three-dimensional aluminium woven system, produced by bending and flexing aluminium sheets into doubly curved shapes. The woven form refers to the weaving of fabric and the tailoring of garments. Inside, textured cement walls, display counters and hidden light sources create a continuous sculptural space. A diagrid pattern is repeated on floors, walls and pedestals.

Cross

A private residence built on a site facing two roads in a quiet residential area. The exterior, which can be seen from the outside, has an orderly form, ensuring a moderate sense of openness while protecting the privacy of the residents. The interior is moderately open and has a visual expanse. In addition, in accordance with the shape of the site, the two planes intersect at different angles in the center, and the space created here gently connects the rooms. A new blank space is created by appropriately dividing the plane, and the plan is to deepen communication between residents.

Float

A private residence with a skip floor that makes the most of the difference in height of the land. The living room is placed at a height where the surrounding buildings cannot be seen, and it is devised so that the surrounding scenery can be taken in according to the owner's request. The rest of the living space is located on the middle floor, and the entrance is connected to the garden, creating a space that welcomes visitors with a sense of depth. From the looks of it, you can tell it's designed to capture the landscape you need, wherever you are.
