The project started with making furniture out of small-diameter trees and scrap wood. Wood in Okinawa is felled due to natural disasters and road expansion. However, in recent years, road expansion has decreased due to environmental considerations, so wood is also shrinking. To continue making Okinawa furniture, it was necessary to use small materials. Therefore, the Layer stool were created by combining various types of wood. It is made from upcycled waste. This design proposes a new value by reconstructing the waste material from Okinawan wood into blocks.

The project is a three bedroom condo showflat. It is intended to showcase a dwelling for a family of four: a pair of young, working professionals and their two preschool children.

Takeen

The design of Takeen is inspired by its natural bamboo surroundings. This design integrates plant morphology, particularly bamboo, with its functional requirements to create a sustainable, organic enclave for respite from the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur. The biomimetic design emerged from the mathematical interpretation of leaf and branching patterns found in plants. As the entrance, bar, and kitchen walls slowly bifurcate and converge, light cascades down its sinuous form, producing an experience of bamboos intrinsic nature that is unique to Takeen.
