Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji Hitotose Aki

Rinn Kyoto Miyagawasuji Hitotose Aki is a hotel interior located on Miyagawa-suji, a street in Kyoto that keeps a traditional streetscape. The design follows the strict local rules on building colors, shapes and styles. The lighting plan leads guests from dim light at the entrance to brighter rooms, and indirect lighting reveals the texture of the walls. Washi paper made with a local paper artist is used in several ways, including kakishibu treatment, koyori twisting and fukuro-bari layering. The aim is a calm and warm space for comfortable stays.

The house is located in Happy Valley, Hong Kong, a place rich in historical value. In the same place, in the same house, several generations live together. New and old cultures gather in the same space. A harmonious space is the solution to connect each other. Mahjong which is an enduring game, is added to build this kind of multi functional space to connect these generations, increase interaction and communication, use simple design techniques, pay attention to craft skills details, and create a comfortable living environment.

Technology Museum

Technology Museum is the interior design of the new building of the Henan Science and Technology Museum in Zhengzhou, China. The interior covers the atrium, corridors and other public areas. Prefabricated concrete corrugated panels and anodized curved aluminum plates form the walls and ceilings, fixed with dry hanging technology on hot-dip galvanized steel keels. Irregular surfaces were measured with a total station and modeled in three dimensions, which allowed accurate layout and factory production. The interior supports the display of science and technology to the public.

The interior design draws on traditional Chinese spatial culture and poetic symbolism, presenting a contemporary interpretation of ceremonial architecture.

A linear path organizes the visitor's journey through zones of arrival, negotiation, and reflection. Sculptural lighting and layered materials create a calm, immersive environment that blends cultural identity with modern aesthetics.
