Chigasaki House / Tamada & Wakimoto Architects

This 112㎡-house is designed for six people across three generations living together. The site is located at the end of a cul-de-sac, surrounded by detached houses in a densely built residential area by the sea with a bright atmosphere. The project involves rebuilding the original home—previously occupied by the grandparents—into a new residence for the entire family: three members from the younger generation and three from the older. The younger couple runs a hair salon near their home, and their child spends much of their time with the grandparents. The older generation splits their time between working at home and going into the city. The six family members lead diverse lifestyles and have varied relationships with one another.

Activity Center of Taikang Community Yan Garden / Sunlay Design Group + Fangwei Architect

A senior living community reflects the dynamics of a microcity. It is crucial to understand the additional yearnings of senior citizens, apart from their fundamental needs pertaining to medical and nursing assistance and various lifestyle needs that can ensure their overall well-being. The "Taikang Community Yan Garden” strives towards facilitating a living space for the elderly to confront their core desires and inspiring them to envision the days ahead with more freedom, openness, and vitality.

Insoil Showroom / KKOL Studio

In The Interpretation of Dreams, a book that offers insights into the relationship between dreams and the subconscious, Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud discussed the concepts of "manifest dreams" and "latent dreams." Assuming the dreams we remember after we wake up are manifest dreams, the subconscious that acts as those dreams' original forms — or, in other words, our inner worlds — are latent dreams. Our true objects of desire always remain latent rather than being manifested. The space devoted to Insoil, a ceramics brand, passes through the domain of the latent. It visualizes invisible consciousnesses, such as the brand identity Insoil pursues or the desires of the two artists for a good life. "The trivial yet not insignificant," "The delicate yet firm," "The orderly yet not overly artificial," "The dim yet luminous,""The mundane yet unfamiliar."

Healing pets / Informal Design

The project is situated within West Lane Cultural and Creative Park—formerly a toy factory nestled in an old industrial neighborhood in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou. Through conceiving a comprehensive brand design solution for the client healing pets, Informal Design aims to create a destination for pet lovers, fostering a warm human-pet community that counteracts the alienation often felt in urban life. The goal is to cultivate a new lifestyle for urban residents and their pets, promoting mutual growth among individuals, dogs, and the bond between humans and their pets.
