The interior is dominated by a creamy palette and with quality daylight to give a calm and heartwarming atmosphere. The color was carefully curated on various materials from concrete floor to lacquered kitchen cupboards, wall finishes, doors and bookshelves to achieve surface continuity as an aesthetic expression. To create an enjoyable flooring for dogs and children, a color-matched special concrete mix was applied throughout the apartment for its non-slippery texture and easy-to-maintain feature.

The depth of the interior was revealed via natural light meandering through several glass block partitions. These crafted blocks are crystal clear with charming textures which beautifully rendered the interior and softly divided the study from the living room as well as the bedroom behind it. Thanks to its unique presence, the apartment feels more spacious than the measured result.

Following a corridor to the private section of the apartment, a guest bedroom presents with contrasty dark theme finished by hand-made ceramic tiles and indigo grouts. Adjacent to it is a guestroom with an operable storage wall which connects to children’s room and enable the spatial flexibility for various scenarios.

Made to function with a sculptural interpretation, a 6-meter-long custom bench was precisely prefabricated in the workshop and assembled on site, featured in the living room. We meticulously pigmented the concrete mix with Pantone Red River Clay to compliment the costumed furniture pieces and lighting fixtures made of fine veneers to give the common living area a serene yet articulated design.

The master bedroom is on the other side of the corridor. We removed two partition walls to reveal the continuous window glazing, and to utilize the walk-in wardrobe and bathroom for optimize space. The walk-in wardrobe is finished with dark green stained ash veneers in contrast with the white Carrara marble mosaic bathroom. One may enjoy his or her bath with a pleasant view thanks to the corner window walls.

Imagine students flowing through school spaces may they study or play, which shows promising vibes that give this vernacular campus its unique character. Our design respects the free souls of Casamance people and local environment.

We avoided typical enclosures and allowed arrangements of curved walls to frame individual rooms and circulation paths. Along with rotated-louver wall design, it's visually intriguing to walk around for the see-thru effect and beneficial to air circulation for less heat built up indoors.

The design scheme rooted from circular patterns observed from local textile patterns also as a tribute to local vernacular architecture in which we found inspiring forms and wisdom to harvest from the mother nature. May this project contribute to the community for quality education and architectural heritage.

GA Plan

Studying in school, as we perceived, is nothing like in the ivory tower. We embraced a rather open but well-conceived plan where students meandering through bright and dark, between indoor and outdoor, from enclosed to the wide open. The wall arrangement allows transitional corridors between rooms and the outdoors which accommodates flexible activities or as a classroom extension.

All the rooms are well ventilated and blessed by indirect natural light thanks to the genuine structural system where rammed-earth pillars forms louvered walls overlapped as the base for elevated timber roof trusses.

Nature Ventilation

The zinc-plated roof panels shed rainwater to irrigate ground plants. Excessive water will be channeled to a circular pit for storage and recreational purpose.

The reception and classroom were connected by series of custom plexiglass shelves where all the plant pots visually floated around the space. We love the stunning effect when the sun rays traveling through these crystal shelves to vividly render the indoors. This design resonates with every other design detail to bring a fresh and enjoyable spatial experience as a lively and resplendent clinic.

We love the warm southern sun which became the medium in our design hopefully to ease the pain and bring back happiness. We redesigned the street side façade with custom concrete breeze blocks for better ventilation as well as playful light and shade for people in the counseling rooms to experience. All counseling rooms were decorated with AB Marine panels for its warm tone and unique patterns.

This project is our humble mission wishing to let space be the remedy to cure.

We analyzed the planning and concluded that the hangar could serve as a riverside attraction on Pavia’s cycling map since touring the city with bicycles is already a norm for major populations in town, the university students. The scale of the city is also a great fit to promote cycling activities. The site however needs replanning to strengthen the link between the hangar and the land, after all, the hangar was originally designed to serve hydroplanes by the river side which will not fit its contemporary mission.

We decided to introduce artificial landscapes to strategically fill out the gap and link the building to street level. The landscape extends towards Palazzo delle Esposizioni to engage more visitors and cyclists as the beautiful riverfront becomes more pedestrian friendly and fun to walk and cycle through. The hangar itself underwent a facelift with polycarbonate claddings and openings replacing original solid walls while keeping the framing structures reinforced for reminiscence of the original architecture.

We would like to take the “rug” idea more literally that our concrete design should patch on existing land instead of embedding chunks of concrete into the land. By doing so, little excavation needs to be done and hence, less footprint will be left on site whatsoever. In order to realize this concept, we break the design into four phases: mapping, optimizing, casting and engaging.

Diagram

Mapping is to digitally scan the landscape and generate 3D model for further site and design analysis as well as choosing preferred install area. Optimizing is to further understand the land contexts around the install area and also to understand users behavior and activities that allow us to strengthen the users experiences via shaping specific concrete forms. Casting is the phase where lots of magic will emerge. To patch the ground like a rug, GFRP reinforced concrete would be ideal to realize the thin cast while keeping the strength up. Surface textures will be examined to have an interesting dialogue with users while laying or sitting with certain postures and having skin contact with the material.

Finally comes to engage the project. We expect users to explore the transition between natural and artificial surfaces and find themselves enjoy the outdoor moments not on a concrete bench but a fashionable and lasting picnic rug made of crafted concrete and design intelligence embedded.

GA Plan

In response to the awkwardness through series of windows adjacent to the neighbor building while keeping the mentioned benefits, we installed custom-made louvers with groove patterns in various orientations lacquered in an uplifting yellow to improve privacy.

We rendered the interior for a soothing and elegant fashion. Wide plank Douglas-fir flooring with natural finish gives a warm texture and extends the visual continuity through the flat.

An open kitchen with a working balcony full of lush trees gives a lively depth in contrast to an enclosed kitchen layout before renovation.

Each bathroom carries unique design. The ensuite bathroom features Carrara marble mosaics and trims which along with Nickel plated hardware for an exquisite modern luxury.

Raw rattan screens as a reinterpreted traditional local craftmanship on master suite doors and wardrobe doors further emphasize the natural interior ambience which gives natural vibes and calms the anxious souls often found in urban dwellers.

The result is rather pleasing than using curtains or films for its versatility. One can slide and play with pattern overlap to create different illuminating quality.

The 1,345 sqft apartment has one master suite on the other side of the living room as well as a quaint study with custom-made steel shelves and lacquered cherry wood desk tops.

The corridor connects living room, a teenager's bedroom and a bathroom with an open balcony. We planted lush greens for little gardening to be viewed and accessed from the corridor or bathroom, which gives a pleasant bathing experience.

The guest bathroom features a circular plan in which we resurfaced it with custom-made green hue fireclay tiles. Dark metallic finish hardware and CNC milled sink-integrated countertop and glossy kaki green lacquered cabinets together characterize a quaint and elegant space for an elevated daily washroom experience.

Affordable housing is open to a broader range of household incomes than social housing. Affordable housing rents vary, and are set either as a discount to the market rent or as a percentage of a household's income. We are targeting ethnic groups in youth and small families. In order to meet the characteristics of flexibility.

CONCEPT

We imagined the entire building as a large variable building block, and users can choose how many units to rent. The walls, floors, bathrooms, etc. , have become a variety of “furniture” for selection. Such a building will be full of vitality because of various creative combinations.

We came up with a bold idea. Why don't we just build it on a station? In this way, only need to find a suitable station. Only the distance and station characteristics need to be considered. This can reduce many troubles for the government. This is possible with London's dense railway system. When it spreads throughout the city, it will become an interesting city symbol.

全球疫情的關係，長時間須待在家生活與工作，讓人們再次對”家”有了更多的關注。家與巢是這次設計圍繞的主軸。木屋木構展示了永續建築的可能性並自然融入國家公園的優美環境。五個造型不同的木屋形同開枝散葉的家族，小家庭間各自發展成形，卻又在家族中飾有獨特的角色，形成複雜而美好的相互聚合。

As a Flower Festival pavilion located in the remote mountains, the mission is to provide a resting point while enhancing visitors' experiences during the festival. Human beings are under unprecedented influence from the Covid19 pandemics. Home regains its significance and involves our daily lives even stronger. This led to a narrative that family and home is where one found love and awesomeness yet along with complications. Our design rooted from this narrative and re-interpreted it by stacking five individual house-shape volumes and removing the overlapped area to create a booleaned interior which conveys unique spatial experiences from its complex geometries and wooden structures. One might even notices there are seven peculiar boxes with opening on the facades. Yes, a house for both people and birds under one roof! The birdhouse concept came into play to bring birds from the woods to an open field which encourages visitors aware of these wonderful species. We hope visitors enjoy this little surprise. As for the facade design, wood shingles made of Taiwania firs, were arranged with various patterns as well as bark finishes to give a natural presence as a wood cabin also as birdhouses which blends into its surroundings.

Boolean Birdhouse is located at an open square in the remote part of Yangmingshan National Park. Visitors are there for hiking or to see the Flower Clock attraction. As a resting junction with rather flat slope, people tend to stop by this square but find it barely has any sheltered area. We came up with this wood cabin idea to provide shades and resting fixtures where one may experience a contrast to the given surroundings by entering a space with only indirect light and projection art installation for a meditating experiences.

不同量體透過堆疊相嵌，在外觀上形成聚合又富變化的意象， 輔以對外牆台灣杉木材採不同處理方式達到和諧卻富變化的層次感，觀賞者走動時，在每個角度都可欣賞到建築不同的樣貌。量體兩個入口分別面對花鐘與後方花園的小徑，有銜接兩處的意涵，量體刻意在兩入口間形成趣味的涵洞，讓小朋友們穿梭體驗建築內外的空間，看似分開的兩個室內空間，在動線體驗下還是一體的。

量體堆疊下所形成的建築內部本是錯綜複雜的型態，但在設計過程我們藉布林代數的原理，移除了交集衝突的部分，留下充滿連續性與動態的面和結構。在精確的結構計算下，這些構築元素相互牽引支撐，形成穩定結構，再次呼應前述複雜而美好的關係。建築的動線規劃，期許參觀者以遠、近、繞、鑽等方式體驗其內外空間並結合遮陽避風躲雨的機能與民眾互動。另外也透過七座鳥巢的安排，讓鳥兒在不受打擾下，重回廣場棲息，拉近人與鳥的距離，增加花季體驗的樂趣與感動

Boolean Birdhouse was given a mission to challenge a spatial typology which architecturally blends in the natura setting but reinterpret messages that awaken people’s awareness of nature with simply architectural format and digital media. It was quite a task to create such format but we successfully delivered a wooden frame structure which takes advantage of the requirement to somehow isolate visitors but at the same time fortify their awareness of mother nature. The frame structure utilizes continuous stacked walls and roofs to form a wooden shell for a dimmed ambience that will allow our digital media contents to be viewed. The shell further expresses the complex and monumental characters of such building even though the actual built area was merely 80 square meters.

The interior is mainly for sheltering and exhibition, in which one may find a cozy position to enjoy a moment of meditation. The circulation is curated to have visitors entering from two different entrances on the opposite side shaping different vantage points to appreciate the spatial characters. Since the interior space is semi-disconnected, visitors are expected to engage both inside and outside of the building to complete the experience which makes more sense for a project in such specific location. Projection mapping is an integrated art form presenting fantastic visual drama promoting nature conservation awareness which mutually enhancing the design agenda.

When we were strolling around the site, we noticed beautiful bird chirping sounds from time to time but barely saw any. We realized the open area in the mountains has no sheltering place for birds. They keep themselves away from the square and hide in trees further away. While we were to come up with a resting shelter for visitors, why not let the birds in? Our design then incorporate seven bird houses to introduce beings to the birds and vice versa. This rephrases our intention to let the architecture be the medium to celebrate the wonderfulness of bio-diversities on our given land.

Inside Boolean Birdhouse is an exciting display of a challenging recreation of wooden frame structure. Each stacked volume plays a role to balance out the whole building. Pitched and curved roofs, overhangs and a suspended resting platform all give the project the beauty of complexation, visually and structurally. Many parts, especially roof structures were carefully designed and digitally fabricated for precise assembly. Digital media was curated to render the complex shapes with vivid natural images as a visual symphony. People here may experience the serenity or orchestrated media impact upon different timeline during exhibitions.

特別調製的白色加上俐落的陳設，讓空間中有視覺延伸的效果，亦有助工作時精神的提升與專注。白色的完成面底下 ，我們投入密集的設計與製作來形成空間中的元素：實木特殊裁切的地板，特殊金屬網面的隔間與門片，慎選材料澆灌而出的白色水泥流理檯面，數位網點雷射切割logo的金屬隔屏，讓燈火通明的工作室成為自己最顯著的招牌。再輔以特別挑選的白色活動書架與配件。白色的驚艷來自對細節及工藝貫徹的堅持。

To further inspire the creative people working there, our approach is to let white wash over the whole interior. Not as simple as it sounds, white finish can be achieved by millions of ways, and we picked up the tough one to go ahead. Under the white finish are elements we designed for the space, and most of them came with unique design and make approach.

Although compact with rather limited programs inside, various design details can be found in a hand cast white concrete bar counter, fabricated fine metal mesh screen and door panels, solid pine parquet forming interesting graphic and precise assembly of perforated front screen serving energy saving purpose with an eye-catching logo.

All these under a calm and inspiring sheet of white wash, which conveys our pursue of consistency and concise design language

The lighting solution adds the vibrant to this simple rectangular open space by using arranged light tubes. which are visible from the outside of the window as a signage of the firm's logo.

This white sleek office space is a testimony for a budget and chic work place. We wanted to use the characteristics of common materials and de-texturized them by painting it all white to create a harmonized ambient environment curated by the light only.

Flooring is arranged with budget industrial wooden planks with very minimal treatments but interesting pattern for a dynamic visual experience.

Mobile bookshelves serve certain function to organize books and for easier references to individual workstation.

Along with lacquered wood finish in white, painted recycled rebars, terrazzo counter top and concrete walls and flooring are all rendered under the same color scheme. A space featuring rich materiality with coherence has been a goal for this project.

In related to the porous front screen, a different metal mesh is applied for partitions and door panel, which gives desired opaqueness and translucency. Along with the whiteness from paint and materials themselves, the refraction from various light sources gives the white different depth.

單層住宅也可以像調色盤般的豐富有趣。這個私人住宅有40+坪的空間，對育有一女的夫妻來說，是個夠用但侷限的空間。以原有隔間來看，室內的後大半段都被房間與浴室等私密空間佔據，若廚房非開放式，開門所見就是不大的客廳與飯廳。業主家好動的臘腸狗很多時間宅在家沒地方活動也是令人沮喪。透過移除原有隔間，露出開放的地板，我們利用磨石子地耐用適合寵物行走奔跑的特性，加入銅條造型來軟性區分空間，輔以造型磚牆與通透的鐵件隔間視覺的反差與折門隔間靈活的開闔創造獨特空間感卻沒原有的閉塞。

The design challenges the materiality and construction technique to ensure the delivery of desired textures and spatial quality in this space, so as the sophisticated visual attraction demanded by our artist clients.

We tried to bring back the forgotten glory of the terrazzo flooring.

Along with carefully mixed compounds cast on site, different design layout of copper dividers were customized to distinguish the programs in this space. Materiality has always played a significant part in our design, especially in a residential project. We believe in the most experience in a space is not only composed by visual but even more by the tactile.

Copper dividers were precisely prefabricated in the factory for desired details, shapes and composition.

The interior partitions are often necessary dividers in a residential flat and as rather rigid components in a layout. Our intention here is to dub them the role of being self-explanatory spatial elements. Be it foldable panels, sliding book wall, steel-glass screens or parametric brick walls according to spatial programs, they contribute to visual references and penetration which fundamentally transformed a typical flat layout.

Elaborated kitchen finish.

Along with carefully picked colour palettes and tile patterns, folding doors serve the presentation of either an open kitchen and a gathering bar counter. The spatial depth and visual presence can be easily chosen accordingly.

Rich palette of interior materials.

A glance at the mixed-use study area and master bedroom reveals a composition of carefully arranged raw material from terrazzo, bricks to cedar wood along with retro steel-glass screens. The deliberately widen passage to the children's room connects private and public sections and serves as a transitional study area.

Let the bricks dance!

The parametric brick wall serves as a partition wall that runs through the apartment and separates the public and private area. The wall itself is a deviation from the ordinary interior partition wall which not only adds more dynamic to the space but also forms certain contrast against the lightness of the glass-metal screens.

Visual and physical experiences

Take this compact bathroom space for example, the spatial limit can be improved by applying looping optical guidance and angled window sash to achieve the comfort while using such limited space .

The design is inspired by the mentioned observation. It investigates into the transpiration of plants and turns the subtle gesture into visualization on the tree house building skin so to have tree house breathing simultaneously with its host.

The programs and floor layout are designed to augment the expectation of a weekend house from an urban couple. Different floors have various openness to the nature which are designated to provide gathering, privacy and meditation. LIBRARY DECK/ SEMI PUBLIC/ SHELTERED OPEN AIR AREA Space area: 28.4 square meters, high ceiling with panorama glazing rooftop Program: library with nature view fix into a V shape of the branches and hung from other branches as well

SCREEN DESIGN

The ‘breathing’ façade is made possible by adopting moisture sensitive polymer as ‘muscle tissues’ between modules which senses high moisture and opens the skin under various environmental factors that causes higher transpiration rate from the tree and uncomfortable microclimate within the house. The transitional pattern is reflecting the need for privacy and view from the inside. Once distribution is set, the pattern demonstrates different degrees of openness, for example, the contrast between day and night, rain or shine, even summer and winter
