KP.A

KP.A is an exhibition space of about 1000 square meters located in Hefei, China. The design presents houses, chairs and other daily necessities as basic living needs rather than luxury goods. Cubes of varying volume divide the interior into areas with different functions and create free movement paths. Wood is used across large surfaces to recall the grain fields that once covered the site. Simple forms, restrained colour and clear light and shadow reduce the commercial tone of the venue and create a calm atmosphere.

Tailong

Tailong is a college interior of 12000 square meters located in Hangzhou. The college is divided into three parts: an administrative office area, a teaching classroom area, and living quarters for teachers and students. The design follows the theme of sound and color. Gray tones set the keynote of the teaching block, where acoustic measures reduce noise and control vibration, focusing and standing wave effects. Geometric structures enrich the spatial layers, and color blocks form part of the structure and set the tone of each space.

Where The Root Is

Where The Root Is is an office interior located in a historic building in central Shanghai. The root of a tree serves as the core design concept. Dark walnut timber lines cross the flat ceiling to suggest interwoven roots. Patterned timber flooring and wooden grille screens mark circulation and use, while the open screens allow light and air to pass through. A tea reception area greets guests and professional partners. Grey carpet and wool wall covering give the working area a calm tone, and the supervisor office is separated to ensure privacy.
