The space covers 2000 square meters over two floors, with a public area on the first floor and the kitchen, dining area and lounge on the second. Soft white tones with golden accents define the interior. The facades are shaped like petals, the arches are rounded, and the dome recalls a pistil. Curved surfaces are made of gypsum reinforced glassfiber, while semi translucent walls are built with crystal bricks. Separate circulation paths keep the routes of diners and staff from crossing.

Secret Land

Secret Land is a private reception house in Taiwan, designed as a place for the owner to meet friends, watch ball games and taste wine. The plan is fully open, with the kitchen, living room and dining room set in equal proportions to form a triangular circulation path. Sight lines meet across the three areas, so conversation stays easy from any point. Cast iron is used for the screen, display shelf and display cabinet, and its natural rust gives a raw appearance. A warm wood dining table and an olive green sofa balance the cool gray tones.

Rong

Rong is a tea sideboard designed for home use. Rong is made of North American black walnut with a clear wood grain. A double-layer octagonal countertop and herringbone struts divide the functional areas by shape. The cabinet body has grille strip sliding doors that move along a track, so no space is needed in front of the unit. Multiple storage areas keep different tea sets in order. The concave countertop surface and the pressure center placed behind the center of gravity prevent tipping. Simple components allow users to assemble the sideboard themselves.
