Jewelry Center

Loading

Loading is a jewelry showroom located in Fuzhou, China. The space is 5.5 meters high and its structure is reorganized through raised and sunken geometric forms. Circular and rectangular shapes divide the display and service areas, while curved lines flow across the interior. Most materials are reused from dismantled projects, which reduces waste and lowers cost. Glass bricks create indirect lighting and an irregular wall surface, so the building resembles a gift box of light. The aim was to replace the traditional jewelry showroom model with a relaxed and open space.

One Barbecue

One Barbecue is a barbecue restaurant located in Shenyang, China. The interior occupies the second and third floors of a market building and covers 1000 square meters. Part of the third floor slab was removed to bring daylight deeper inside and to link the two levels. Mottled exposed cement walls are combined with cast aluminium wall lamps that spread light across the uneven surfaces. A separate staircase entrance, a small kitchen and a street window support takeaway service. The design presents traditional north-east barbecue culture in a simple, open dining space.

Huajiang Science Lab

The specialized classroom serves as an experimental environment where children engage in fundamental scientific practices such as observation, inquiry, hypothesis generation, experimentation, and inference drawing within the natural realm. As education evolves, classrooms must adapt to contemporary needs. In addition to updating essential equipment, provisions for convenient access to and from the classroom are imperative. Spatial reconfigurations aim to facilitate increased interaction between teachers and students, fostering a relaxed and conducive learning atmosphere.

Detachable Sofa

Hanoi

Hanoi is a detachable sofa designed for flat packaging. The sofa is assembled in about four minutes without tools, glue or metal parts. Four beech wood pillars are rotated into threaded holes in the wooden base. Upholstered backrests and armrests are then attached to the pillars and fixed with threaded caps at the top of each pillar. Cushions are added last. The packed volume is two fifths of the assembled sofa, which reduces packaging, storage and transport costs. The structure recalls the Tower of Hanoi puzzle.
