Curvline

Curvline is a self supporting bookcase that explores the structural transformation of thin metal through curvature. Inspired by the dual nature of metal, both flexible and resistant, the design converts material vulnerability into strength by bending and folding the surface. The continuous form acts simultaneously as structure and storage, eliminating the distinction between frame and shelf. With its modular configuration, Curvline allows adaptable compositions while maintaining a clear sculptural identity defined by balance, tension, and refined minimalism.

Mengtai Group Hard Technology Pavilion is a corporate exhibition interior located in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. The pavilion covers about 4,500 square meters and includes a showroom, public artworks and outdoor sculptural installations. Display boards and scaled models are replaced by a spatial language drawn from industrial production lines.

A naked eye 3D system and a 22 meter long CAVE theater guide visitors through a cyclical narrative.

Metoa Ginza

This is a space themed around the encounter between cutting-edge technology and people. Through the exhibits of each business, technology and art meet, and people meet those exhibits. People connect through the cafe, and a community is born. As these encounters continue to connect, they will remain in people's memories and give them a favorable impression of the facility. The two-layered honeycomb panels surrounding the elevator create a flower-like pattern when one of the honeycombs is rotated 90 degrees. This conveys the message that technology will connect to create a happier world.

The ottoman is multifunctional and can serve as a footrest, an extra seat, or a compact side table when fitted with a removable wooden top. The set brings handcrafted detailing into scalable industrial production.

Jam Base

Jam Base is a co creation space located in Grand Green Osaka, conceived as part park and part building. Designed for unexpected encounters, it acts as a platform where diverse users meet and create together. Guided by Midori, Yohaku, and Gocha Gocha, the architecture centers on a central atrium with multi level zones and intersecting circulation that allow activities to overlap. Subtle spatial cues support gathering and interaction. Rather than prescribing fixed programs, the space evolves with its people, functioning as a living collective that fosters collaboration and urban vitality.

Nomad House

This project reinterprets a 40 year old residence for contemporary nomadic living by removing existing layers to reveal latent spatial potential within the concrete structure. Originally fragmented across levels, the space is reorganized vertically into a continuous composition, with an open living area above, private spaces below, and an introspective basement. The basement supports both individual retreat and shared moments, creating a gradual transition between openness and intimacy, where memory emerges through everyday inhabitation.
