Kindergarten in Vilnius

The Kindergarten in Vilnius blends architecture with nature to inspire children's curiosity and love for the environment. Its dark facade contrasts with the Baltic forest, while large, vertical windows provide immersive views of nature. The hexagonal inner courtyard, lined with local wood, offers a safe, playful learning space. The design prioritizes child centered exploration, sensory engagement, and environmental connection, creating a unique and nurturing learning environment.

Kdu Campus Center

The Kanagawa Dental University Campus Center embodies a philosophy of Gentle Architecture, merging functional spaces for staff and students with communal areas under a generous, cloud-like roof. The use of colored concrete and a landscape that softens boundaries with the surrounding park fosters a welcoming environment. The Campus Center, designed to be the foyer of the campus and the city, aims to revitalize campus life and open the university to the community, making it a place where everyone can easily gather and engage in various activities.

Single Wall

Single Wall is a residence located in Angra dos Reis, Brazil. The house is organized by one continuous pressed bamboo wall, 80 meters long. The wall separates leisure and service areas, conceals technical spaces, and supports the suspended bedroom volume. Exposed concrete, pressed bamboo, and Brazilian marble are the main materials. Post tensioned concrete allows a free span of 12.5 meters and a cantilever of 6.5 meters. Glass panels retract fully, joining interior and exterior. Cross ventilation, natural light, and shading provide comfort without artificial systems.

Sreed Ebisu T

Sreed Ebisu T is a nine story office building in Ebisu, Shibuya ward, Tokyo. The building uses a hybrid structure that combines a steel post and beam frame with timber seismic frames inserted into it. The timber frame, named the seismic timber lattice shell, serves as both a structural and an interior element. Members that resist only seismic force do not require fireproofing, so the timber remains exposed. The lower floors hold restaurants or retail stores, and the upper floors hold offices. Common terraces along the staircase support breaks and interaction.

Zen House

Zen House is a refined example of minimalist design, where light, water, and space shape a calm and cohesive living environment. A pool anchors the home's layout, complemented by the presence of an olive tree that brings a natural focal point. Thoughtful material choices and clean architectural lines support a sense of clarity and quiet. Every detail contributes to a sense of purposeful stillness, where nothing feels excessive and everything has its place. In this way, Zen House becomes a quiet refuge, attuned to both its inhabitants and its natural surroundings.

Twist Bridge

Twist Bridge is a pedestrian overpass built between Huagai Mountain and Fengling Mountain in Shunde, Foshan, China. The form is inspired by a twisted sheet of paper, and the deck turns in the air like a ribbon. The rotating railing does not block the view. Instead, the railing guides pedestrians toward the open city landscape. The inner length is 65.588 meters, the outer length is 71.191 meters, and the width is 3 meters. Twist Bridge links the walking paths of the two mountains and offers a safer crossing over the road below.
