Tuya

Tuya is a restaurant and bar interior set in a heritage building in Vienna, Austria. The design spreads over two floors and creates an informal and elegant atmosphere. The Art Deco and Postmodern character of the original space is preserved by keeping the circular stair and a large part of the existing marble floor. Wall coverings are made of solid beech wood, cut with a CNC machine into triangular stripes. A ceiling installation is formed by more than 3000 glass tubes. The terrazzo floor is divided by brass profiles.

Park Zoo

This is no doubt a hotel based on the animal theme. However, designers didn’t simply create a series of adorable and graceful animal-shaped installations in order to attract great attention in the intensely competitive market. Infusing the space with the deep love for animals, designers transformed the hotel into an art exhibition, where customers are able to observe and feel the real situation facing the endangered animals in the present moment.

The Unity of Zen and Martial Arts

The Unity of Zen and Martial Arts is a tea shop interior in Foshan, China. The design joins local culture with a brand culture based on new tea drinking. Foshan is known as a home of Wing Chun, and the wooden dummy used in Wing Chun inspired the spatial structure. Horizontal and vertical wooden members are joined with traditional mortise and tenon work, dividing the gray slate space into clear layers. Transparent acrylic boxes above the wooden posts hold dancing lion and pot wall symbols of Lingnan culture. A long central tea table recalls tea mountains.

Lafonce Maxone

Lafonce Maxone is a cultural and commercial complex located in Xi'an, China. The interior brings together a shopping mall, a bookstore and other business types under a single book theme. Two artistic book walls, 18 metres high and 240 metres long in total, hold hundreds of thousands of books and are built with steel structures and transparent glass. The glass allows light to spread into the void area of the building. The original structure had been left unused for three years, and its open volume was kept to create a strong sense of space.
