The House for Contemporary Art

This home was designed for an art appreciator and amateur artist who wanted a “house like an art museum”. Planned with careful consideration for air circulation as well as for the harsh, snowy climate of the Japan Sea coast, the structure is composed of white boxes of varying scale that frame spaces like pictures. One of the main concepts is 'Seamless Spatial Composition'. You can circulate through the spaces in this home looking at the owner’s collection of artwork just as if you were passing through galleries in a museum.

Chapel on the Hill

After standing derelict for more than 40 years, a dilapidated Methodist chapel in the north of England has been transformed into a self-catering holiday home for 7 people. The architects have retained the original characteristics – the tall Gothic windows and the main congregation hall – turning the chapel into a harmonious and comfortable space flooded with daylight. This 19th century building is located in a rural English countryside offering panoramic views to the rolling hills and the beautiful countryside.

Sports Center

Neumatt

Neumatt is not one of the many standard sports centers in Switzerland. Inside, it is a true color burst of green, yellow, red and blue. These rainbow-like colors not only help children to navigate around, but it’s also more playful and taps into the way children see the world. By designing a bright sports hall flooded with daylight, the architects wanted to encourage people to spend more time doing sports and truly enjoy being there. Outside, the facade has been designed to blend in, with an upper glazed level that reflects the sky and changes the color depending on the time of day.

Quantum

Quantum is a building designed to host the forefront in Product Design as well as all important and iconic works created over the years. Simply its a Museum and Exhibition Center. The style is probably Organic-Eclectic, shape can be geometrically described as a combination of overlapping spheres, displaced relatively one to another, forming two asymmetrical corpora with different internal areas and balconies. The connection between them is accomplished by 5 corridors in the form of mini-deformed protuberances.

MRC Vison

The design of Marche Vison was rooted in an effort to preserve an authentic mountain experience whilst ensuring accessibility for wheelchair and pushchair users. The structure, divided into four buildings, incorporates tiered platforms connected with ramps, maintaining the fun of a trail-like stroll and the fluidity of the view. This upward movement, from the terrain to the expansive roofs, encourages the gaze upwards. A distinctive aspect of this design is the continuous eaves running across the buildings, creating a long cascading curtain of rain, promoting a deeper connection with nature.

Gymnasium

Nanbu Eye

Located by the Jialing River, this gymnasium achieves harmony, openness and interaction with nature. The design is carried out from the three core concepts of earthscape, integration and openness. The overall project is conceived as an earthscape, just like a picture scroll in one stroke along the Jialing River. The city and nature are merged together, the architecture and landscape are integrated, a continuous spatial sequence is formed along the waterfront.
