Visa section Swiss Embassy | Beijing | 2008




The concept is to ¡®see through the history of the decade¡¯. We keep the old brick building, which witnessed the past ten years, when the most changes happened in China; and extend it with a light weight construction with glass facade, through which the inside bricks still can be seen.



RoSE project | Shanghai | 2007




The existing Building 2 will be completely refurbished, and an addition of two, four level, parallel wings will be constructed. All three building blocks are connected by 2-storey ¡°linking blocks¡± that connect the independent structures.
The new buildings will be a reinforced concrete structure (columns/ flat roof) with completely glazed fa?ades (thermally-isolated window frames and insulated glazing); external sun shades and a flat planted roof.


Roche Site development plan | Shanghai | 2006



Shanghai Roche¡¯s sales are increasing rapidly in China. The site focuses exports to the Asia-Pacific region and potentially to the European Union. Shanghai Roche intends to expand their facilities in the upcoming years.
The main objectives set out by the Client were to provide an attractive, modern and integrated Site Development Plan that will serve as the basis for all the future detailed planning up to 2011. The Plan should also work after 2011 and allow for the full and efficient development of the site.



Boutique Hotel in Ordos | Ordos | 2007



To make an accommodation experience in Ordos different from anywhere else and to arouse a local cultural interest, we took inspiration from the traditional Mongolian dwelling, the yurt.
How to make the local tradition attractive? Scattered on the grassland, Mongolian yurts are round in plan, with interesting interior space. But they cannot be stacked into multi-story buildings to meet the use requirements of today.
We transformed this traditional interior space into contemporary architecture and implanted modern life style and hotel design into the traditional Mongolian yurt. The hotels unique structure radiates as an urban landmark while maintaining a culturally sensitive design in the region. The hotel we designed ensures individuality as each room is unique to ensure a high quality of space while maintaining a simple interior design. We propose to create an extraordinary living experience in Ordos. The hotels exterior experience is complimented by the building¡¯s extensive landscape in the front, and our unique and luxurious spatial arrangements within.


Hotel Panorama Fribourg | Switzerland | 2006



When the budget was minimal, and the client requested the generic, the beauty of the property was inspiring.
The architecture became one that was inspired by its own constraints and assets: the surface of the standard box building has its openings extruded to the landscape. Thus each guestroom shares a pixel of its environment.


Privat fountain in garden | Switzerland | 2006



The client needs a pretty herbs garden, so as to prevent the herbal from being attacked by the neighbor's cats.
Usually, cats are afraid of water. Thus we separated each herb by putting them in the bronze pot in water. Besides, the sharp edge makes it impossible for the cats to stand on...
Finally, we have a sweet fountain, but it seems that cats like walking on these sharp edges in water too...
