S House

S House is a three-story private residence in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture, finished in exposed concrete. Neighboring apartment buildings and a busy road made the blocking of sightlines and noise a priority. Exterior walls of varying heights overlap to form boundaries and a semi-outdoor approach, along which outside sounds gradually fade. The entrance presents rough yet delicate tatami-finished walls. Double-height windows bring sunlight into the living area, where tin wallpaper reflects the light softly. Wide openings cut through the thick walls frame changing outdoor views.

Yangguang City No.9

Yangguang City No.9 is a residential interior design located in Xi'an, China, with a total area of 501 square metres. The layout is organised to support efficient movement between functions within a compact floor plan. Curved wall shapes and embedded light strips recall the tail feathers of the phoenix, a bird of Chinese mythology, and add depth to the rooms. Natural shell terrazzo and common red bricks lower material cost and help balance indoor humidity in a dry climate. Two side tables are made from a saw blade and from off-cut wood.

Nubank

The design concept, based on the social network as a support for liquid modernity, reflects a conscious adaptation to the changing demands of the environment. In this sense, the design of this social network stands as a creative response to the tensions and paradoxes of the contemporary era, providing a meeting space that balances the need for constant adaptation with the pursuit of genuine and meaningful relationships. One of the challenges of the project was to ensure that each room, every corridor, and every corner, in general, became part of the conceptual narrative and was unique.

Moonlight at night

Moonlight at Night is a residential interior design created for a married couple. The home covers 435 square meters on two floors of an older building. A moon-shaped chandelier hangs in the central open space and serves as the main lighting element. The television wall and the master bedroom walls are carved with cement sculpture techniques that imitate the surface of the moon. Black and gold tones recall a night sky. Reflective materials repeat the moon image throughout the rooms. A workspace, a gym and a sunroom are also included.

Shan's Meal

Shan's Meal is a restaurant interior design covering 500 square metres. The design draws on oriental aesthetics to create a calm and quiet atmosphere. A red terrazzo staircase stands near the centre of the plan and guides the spatial narrative. Cloud shaped art installations, linear forms and light art give the interior a modern character. Space and shadow interact to form a natural and rustic scene. The design renews traditional oriental themes while keeping the artistic feeling of Chinese space.

Feng Tian Restaurant

Feng Tian Restaurant is a dining interior located in Changchun, China, covering 1000 square meters. The design follows wabi-sabi principles, where simplicity and quietness guide every surface. Dim lighting, simple wood and stone give the rooms a calm and warm tone. The atrium has a shaped ceiling with dark metal rods that suggest movement through the space. Independent private rooms gather guests in one corner, so banquets and conversation remain sheltered. The intent is a quiet retreat within a busy city.
