249 Design Hotel

The 249 Design Hotel is a retrofit project inspired in the German vernacular architecture. Located in the tourist city of Gramado, the result was a project that creates a dialogue between contemporary and existing architecture in a respectful and harmonious way, using materiality as an agent of integration of everything. Steel, wood and stone are the connectors that unite the whole and bring the external area into the interior of the building. The north of the project was that we made all decisions thinking in the integration between the design and the hotel guests.

Jenga

The project is a public building at the entrance of a residential community, occupying 1200 square meters and housing four main functions: commercial space, community lobby, property management office, and equipment room. However, space constraints arise due to setbacks from adjacent buildings and redline restrictions. Drawing inspiration from the childhood game Jenga, the design integrates each functional area like interconnected blocks, resulting in a cohesive and unified exterior façade, enhancing overall unity.

Shenzhen Book Mall

Architecture is the city and the city is the architecture. While enjoying a wide range of city life, people can also feel the green comfort of birds and flowers, which is more memorable than a single book city and park. Shenzhen Book Mall Bay Area Branch, as a new generation of book city under the new model, will be the building itself as the city to create, trying to guide people to rethink the relationship between culture and life.
