Collage of Melodies

Collage of Melodies is the expansion and renovation of an international school in Beijing. The project houses five learning communities, including an early learning community, an arts center, a library, a design center and a performing arts center. Each community is treated as a distinct space within the existing building framework.

Villa Attie

The first access leads to the private spaces of the house like the bedrooms, and the secondary access leads to the semi-private spaces. The open space plan embodied the idea of effective combination of comfort, coziness, functionality and flow of circulation. The finish levels inside and in the pool area are the same. So that once the windows are open, it creates the feeling that you are outdoors while sitting in the living room.

Fillet House

The idea was to maximise the corner lot building plinth using rounded corners or rounded edges, the filleted streamlined form in response to the tropics, designated programmes and its neighbourhood.

The palettes of materials combined the white, black, and grey curved solid planes with touches of timber and transparency of glasses, streamlining a form which is manly standing out within its neighbourhood.

Hacienda is a summer house built in North Coast, Egypt. The house is surrounded by water on all sides to create an island-like setting.

Wood, copper and marble are the main materials, and copper details highlight the inner design. A terrace, a passageway and a landscape in shades of blue support a calm atmosphere around the pool area.

Cloud Building

Cloud Building is a landscape design for a demonstration area of 4,052 square meters in Nanchang, China. Modern technology and traditional gardening ideas are combined to shape the space.
