Shanghai WZT Aristo Pavilion

Shanghai Wzt Aristo Pavilion is a cultural exhibition interior covering 600 square meters in Xuhui District, Shanghai. The design promotes traditional Chinese culture and draws on the Huizhou architecture of the Jiangnan region in China. Beams and columns, once purely load bearing, are reused and displayed as central elements of the interior. Column bases are carved with Huizhou stone carving techniques, showing plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum as the four seasons. A minimalist long table with transparent acrylic panels joins modern and traditional elements.

Symphony

Symphony is a concert hall interior designed for symphony orchestra performances. The project is the reconstruction of an existing space of 1000 square meters with a complex geometric shape, located in Vilnius, Lithuania. A modular approach was used, based on standard elements such as rhombuses, triangles and smooth and ribbed planes. These components were assembled and adjusted to combine acoustic quality with visual appeal. The walls are made of plasterboard covered with oak veneer, with light strips in between. The wall patterns recall ancient Lithuanian motifs.

Jinglan Bay Art

Jinglan Bay Art is a sales center interior located in Liuzhou, a mountainous area with winding waters. The interior covers 1705 square meters and includes reception, sales, display, digital media and VIP areas. Rather than copying the landscape through shapes, light and shadow are used to suggest high mountains and deep water. Black terrazzo is polished to a mirror finish, so the outdoor scenery and the movement of visitors are reflected. Raw stone at the entrance creates the depth of a valley. Other materials include chiseled marble, mineral paint, black wood and oak.

Modelhane

Modelhane is an office interior that also contains a handbag production workshop. The space is open and uncluttered, with minimal partitions, so the production process can flow without interruption. Bricks with varying geometries form separators that mark the different programs. A semi-permeable material divides the workstations from the cutting room and creates a silhouette effect. The interior is arranged around three main areas: a meeting room with a display area, the workstations and the cutting room. Light colors are used, so the bags provide the only color.
