Zhengzhou Longhu

It is a modern style design with white marble-shaped curves as the main decorative shape of the space, inspired by the feathers of the phoenix, an ancient Chinese auspicious bird. The changes of light and shadow add a lot of detail to this pure space. Several brown metal plates balance the overall tone, and a coffee colored transparent glass curtain wall is used on both sides of the middle corridor on the second floor to increase the variation of light and color. There is a 17 meter high atrium with a bird's eye view of the effect of the white marble lines.

Jinghualou

Jinghualou is a top notch Beijing restaurant located on the central axis of Beijing, the ancient capital of China's Five Dynasties. Now it is managed by the heirs of the old imperial kitchen. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the country finally opened its doors to the world, and Western culture poured in. The designer combined the context of the Forbidden City and the elegance of Western culture and successfully drew a picture of ukiyo-e of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China through an art of design.

Oita Soho

Oita Soho was designed to create a sophisticated, relaxing space with Japanese influences and carrying some of the identity established in Oita’s first restaurant, informal and verdant with plants throughout. The space required more than the conventional approaches of minimalistic modern Japanese design to deliver a distinct, remarkable experience that is a synthesis of aesthetic and cultural elements. The work was inspired by the Tanizaki essay "In Praise of Shadows" which discusses the use, meaning and aesthetics of darkness and shadows in Japanese art, design and architecture.
