The Yard, Dalian Cultural Center / Neri&Hu Design and Research Office

Our design for a new mixed-use creative development is located in the heart of Dalian in close proximity to university campuses and software parks. The existing compound comprises 6 buildings dating back 40 years, which formerly served as offices, warehouses, and dormitories for a chemical research institute. Our design challenge was to find an architectural language that could unify the buildings which all have varying heights and distinct facades which have undergone previous renovation efforts. The most prominent building within the site is a former workers dormitory featuring a series of wooden gates and garage stalls used for repairs in the past.

Rendezvous for Four Generations Residence / FLOAT DESIGN STUDIO

The interior employs the design principle of "less is more" to match the modern, white facade, reaching a rational balance between the volumes and divisions of each space. Limited colors and single materials expand the visual scale and embody a modern ambience. The 3-story floor plan coordinates the westward mountain-facing floor-to-ceiling windows. The outdoor pool serves as a micro-climate control factor. Natural lighting, views, and ventilation are prioritized in order to maintain a comfortable, livable indoor climate. Minimal materials, shapes, and cabinets were employed to retain spaciousness.

A Sustainable School Brazil / Sem Muros Arquitetura Integrada

This project is part of the "A Sustainable School" program by the NGO Tagma, integrating the network of public and sustainable educational buildings in various countries across Latin America. Through an open call and several visits, the chosen school in Brazil was the Municipal Rural School Nossa Senhora da Conceição, a public elementary school in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo. Occupying a building from the 1950s, it had only two classrooms, bathrooms whose sewage was directed to the nearby stream, and makeshift offices for administration and teachers in small spaces, all while surrounded by a large grassy area and beautiful landscape.

At a time when, despite growing environmental awareness, air traffic is once again on the rise, we believe it is essential to rethink how airport mobility programs are designed.
