House C / XStudio

House C transforms a minimal 32 m² apartment into a continuous, luminous interior landscape deeply connected to the sea. What was once a fragmented and irregular dwelling is reinterpreted as a single, legible space, freed from unnecessary partitions in order to allow a clear and uninterrupted reading of the whole. Only the bathroom remains enclosed, conceived as an autonomous cabin that preserves intimacy while reinforcing the perception of the apartment as a single room.

Designing Streets Through the Lens of Care

Reflecting on the modern city, Walter Benjamin described the flâneur, a figure who walks without a defined destination, attentive to details, chance encounters, and the narratives that emerge from urban space. This way of being in the city, shaped by observation and openness to the unexpected, has long been in tension with the rationalist and functionalist ideals that came to guide urban planning throughout the twentieth century. Streets designed primarily for efficiency and flow rarely leave room for detours, pauses, or the coexistence of different rhythms of life.

The Douban Museum / CSWADI

The Douban museum is located in Ande Town, within the prime irrigation area of Dujiangyan, where traditional farming culture intersects with modern sauce production, echoing the organic texture of the Western Sichuan Linpan. Surrounded by woodlands and bamboo with dotted farmhouses, it possesses a strong ecological foundation. Protecting this ecology became the project's guiding principle.
