Glass House

Glass House is a small residential interior design in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The house is built entirely with reflective laminated glass, which blocks ultraviolet rays and provides thermal insulation of about seventy one percent. The total built area is sixty square meters. The structure is screwed and modular, based on the sizes of the glass panels and the steel profiles, so waste is avoided and the house can be moved or modified. Certified wood, stone and textured surfaces are used inside to bring warmth to the glass shell.

Back to glory

Back to Glory is a residential interior design for a 40-year-old apartment. A large two-story skylight and multi-axial spatial planning bring daylight deep into the narrow and long plan. Inwardly tilted glass drains rainwater, and large windows open the living room toward the skylight. A stair patio carries light down to the basement and relieves the low ceiling height. Layered openings connect the bedrooms, the dressing area, the study and the yard, while curtains and doors by section protect privacy.

Moonlit Garden Wuxi

Moonlit Garden Wuxi is a sales center located in the New District of Wuxi, China. The interior uses regional materials linked to local industry, such as cloth, iron, bamboo and Taihu Lake stone. A twenty meter entrance passage uses mirrors to create repeated reflections that suggest a bamboo forest. The ground floor recalls the historical background of Wuxi through these local materials. A belt of artificial greenery is installed on the ceiling of the underground lounge. The facility remains open like a public park, so local residents can meet and interact.

Pocket House

Pocket House is a mobile residence built inside a standard 40-foot shipping container. The reused container rests on a simple support base, and the dry construction was completed by installation alone in ten days, with little waste. Sections of the steel side walls were removed and replaced with glass doors, which improve ventilation and daylight and open the interior to the garden. Wood is used as the single interior coating for the floor, walls and ceiling. The compact plan holds a bedroom, a bathroom, a living and dining area and a kitchen.

MouMou Club

Being a Shabu Shabu, the restaurant design adopts wood, red and white colours to present a traditional feeling. The use of simple contour lines reserves customers’ visual attention to food and diet messages displayed. Since quality of food is a prime concern, the restaurant is layout with fresh food market elements. Construction materials like cement walls and floor are used to build the market backdrop of a big fresh food counter. This setup simulates real market purchase activities where customers can see food quality before making choices.

SugarLady

SugarLady is a pop-up store interior created for a ladies apparel brand in Shanghai, China. The sugar crystal is used as the main theme, linking the interior to the name of the brand. Each display cell is built from a steel frame covered with an industrial nylon sheet. LED panels of 600 by 600 millimetres light the cells from within, so every unit glows softly. The cells are simple and light, so they can be assembled, moved and recombined in many arrangements. The total area is 6 by 10 metres and includes a fitting room.
