SHINE ESTUARY

Boasting a full view of the river and unlimited potential, the project is located in the Oujiang New District of Wenzhou, an area still in its early stages of development. The relationship between the architectural space and its visitors is always changing. The building mass extends through various spatial rhythms and possibilities, preparing the space for even more prospects in the future. The twisting shape of the building partners up with the ripples of the river and together, they dance along the wind.

Hidden and surprising notes of a contemporary architectural orchestra, that listens to the spaces and interprets them with the aim of giving voice to a communicative, dialoguing works through the acute ear of the architect, are the keystone of this private luxury residence. The main purpose is to set an intriguing discourse with the context characterized by the medieval walls of the ancient medieval city of Cittadella in Italy and the two brick blades that protect the interior toward the garden.

The Pitched Roof

Traditional Japanese houses do not create enclosed environments but instead, form spaces that enable easy transition from the inside to the outside. By forming a blurred boundary, only 40 percent of the space under the roof is entirely enclosed. While the inside is being used primarily by the inhabitants, it is the outside that defines it. Deep eaves, as Japanese traditional architecture elements in local monsoon climate, are almost extinct in modern houses. The house seeks to reinterpret the deep eave and create opportunities for Japanese qualities to flourish in modern architecture.

People can directly enter the swimming pool right from their rooms. The designer incorporated elements of Hakka tradition with hundreds of years of history. With a little modification, it cleverly combined contemporary convenience with traditional history, romance with pragmatism during the whole project.

House in sinjyo

The "House in Shinjo" has no windows outside. That is due to the site's unique condition, which is along the national highway bypass. The house has an inner courtyard like a hole in a square block as a device to let in light and wind while closing to the outside. The building is a wooden structure. In spite of the structural constraints, the designers focused on creating the open space that the client wanted. The interior floor plan was designed to allow the two people to live alone in a spacious and relaxed atmosphere, with a limited building area.

Slope House

The project is located on a gentle slope of a mountainous topography in Wonju city, South Korea. Main design concept for this house is to compose a sloped surface that doubles as a roof and a facade. The roof is not only an apparatus that gives strong visual impact to residents and visitors, but also a metaphor of the slope of the Kam-Ak mountain at the site. Also the sculpted out terrace on the roof, which is facing toward the eastern mountain, provides spectacular views throughout an year with varying sceneries.
