House in sinjyo

House in Sinjyo is a single-story residential building in Tanabe, Wakayama, Japan. The site sits below a busy national highway bypass, so the house has no openings on the outer walls, which protects the privacy of the couple who live there. A square plan fills the small flat area of the sloping site. A light court on the south side brings in light and air, and is shared by the living room and the bathroom. The court is set two steps above the living room. A wall that stops below the ceiling divides the living area from the water area. The structure is wooden.

Slope House

Slope House is a two-storey residence located on a gentle slope in Wonju city, South Korea. The main design concept is a sloped surface that works as both roof and facade. The roof gives a strong visual impact and recalls the slope of the Kam-Ak mountain near the site. A terrace is carved into the roof and faces the eastern mountain, offering wide views through the year. Zinc panels cover the roof and resist heavy snow, while light gray brick forms the walls. Corten steel joins the two materials. The gross built area is 187 square meters.

The OmniDirectional

The OmniDirectional is an internal medicine clinic located in a Japanese suburban town of Hyogo prefecture. The core of the clinic is the endoscopy room, naturally placing it in a central position both spatially and functionally. The entrance gives directly to the central axis of the waiting room, ending in the reception counter followed by a glass opening that showcases the endoscopy room. The materiality of the clinic also plays an essential role for highlighting the endoscopy room as the core of the building by contrasting the materiality of the exterior, interior, and the endoscopy room.

West Lake

Hangzhou West Lake Service Area is a highway service area in Hangzhou, China. The reconstruction project covers a planning area of 61,408 square meters and replaces older facilities of limited scale and function. The design takes inspiration from the sweet-scented osmanthus, the city flower of Hangzhou, and osmanthus shaped roofs crown the buildings. Facades of white curtain wall glass and wooden grilles link the architecture with the surrounding landscape. Two main buildings to the north and south hold dining spaces with different themes. Warm wood and plain colors define the interior.

Local stone and brick form the external walls, and the cross-woven bricks let the facade breathe. The roof shapes follow traditional Fuzhou buildings. Sales, art exhibitions and leisure spaces are combined within the building.
