The Lantern Art Space is adjacent to Fengjian Water Town, which has a thousand years of reputation as a water town, and has a strong local cultural heritage. The vision of its transformation is to use such existing buildings to reinterpret the value of Lingnan culture in a humble posture, introverted but containing energy.

Use simple materials to create a new design language, reflecting the spirit of daring to transcend tradition and enterprising innovation in Lingnan culture. Use the charm of the material itself to reactivate the site and construct a pragmatic, open, diverse and compatible social spiritual value.

DHAWA Jinan Daming Lake is located in Baihua pond, the traditional block of Jinan, Shandong Province. The area is embraced with traditional green brick and black tile quadrangle dwellings (Siheyuan), depicting the most beautiful picture of old Jinan. The main building of the project includes an archaized building with modern beam-slab structure, two preserved historical and cultural protection buildings, as well as some old factory buildings.

It covers an area of approximately 9800 square meters and has a design area of approximately 16200 square meters.

As the main idea of the design, "New knowledge of hometown" extracts the traditional elements and culture of Jiangxi Guild Hall through translation, constructs the formal framework of the design, and endows the original traditional architecture with new composition, material, and texture.

This cabin is one of the sites for the subscription service “SANU 2nd Home” with the concept of "Live with nature.” It was designed by an environmentally friendly architect, who reformed the previous building method by using domestic timber, a stilted architecture to reduce the load on the soil, and construction methods that do not use nails or screws.

It is equipped with functions for "living in nature”: high thermal insulation, slit walls for a quiet environment, and a traditional Japanese raised floor to prevent moisture buildup. Furthermore, the main window which opens from floor to ceiling, seamlessly connects the room with the surrounding nature.

The zoning with curved wooden walls make people to feel comfortable as they spend time on things such as working, resting, or gathering. This project is expanding and 57 cabins have been built in 8 locations by May 2023.

Ying n’Flo is a lifestyle guesthouse for modern day travelers, aiming to break the traditional hotel narrative of serious spaces and strict boundaries. With ecological and economical efficiency in mind, the spaces are designed to have a warm, welcoming and familiar feel, emphasizing functionality and quality.

Against this backdrop of curated simplicity is an edge of youthful attitude and local context, with vibrant elements giving the hotel its own unique flavour. The guest rooms are luxurious in their simplicity; fresh, functional and welcoming. A clean palette of plaster, wood, white washed oak and canvas provides a textured and timeless environment.

The ceiling datum is painted in muted green providing a youthful edge and playfulness, without overpowering the sophisticated backdrop. The generous Garden Terrace is a bold and colorful environment. A peripheral volume of greenery organically wraps the terrace, undulating to allow pockets of inhabitation and a centralised cabana.
