Boku

Boku is a restaurant and bar interior in Guadalajara, Mexico. The design combines Japanese spatial principles with local culture and is inspired by Osaka street food, with takoyaki as the central theme. A curved counter encourages social interaction, and wall textures add tactile detail. Suspended bamboo lighting and natural materials create an organic atmosphere. A mezzanine makes use of the high ceiling and adds functional variety. The venue serves food during the day and becomes a bar and event space at night.

Terra Lounge

Terra Lounge is a modular outdoor sofa formed from separate lounge chairs that can be arranged as a flexible seating system. The aluminum structure has an open interior that reduces visual weight and provides storage for the cushions. Ambient lighting can be added through the open spaces in the frame. The cushions are washable, replaceable and waterproof. Waterproof profile covers shield the interior from moisture and dust when the sofa is not in use. Corner units and auxiliary tables can be added. The aluminum frame is intended for long outdoor use with low maintenance.

Smile Dental

Smile is the interior design of a dental clinic in Taipei, Taiwan. The 400 square meter space occupies the second floor of a street corner building and receives daylight from three sides. The existing palette of black, white and gray is softened with beige tones. The reception wall is finished in hand-applied paint that fades from gray to white. A curved light channel in the floor guides visitors, and glass blocks diffuse soft light. Mineral coatings, quartz, mirrored metal and curved forms are used, and all finishes are easy to clean.
