A competition entry for the revival of Freedom Square and the damaged Regional Administrative Building in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The proposal introduces three interconnected elements — Belvedere, Wedge, and Canopy — that redefine the scale of the square through infrastructure, daily movement and public gathering.

Rather than a monument, the design proposes a loose, prosaic ensemble that extends the civic life of the city. Architecture at the intersection of destination and transition.

A-Zenith has built its reputation on solid redwood furniture — a material tradition that defines both their craft and their identity. As the brand evolves toward a younger, more contemporary market, the renovation of their factory showroom became an opportunity to give this transition a spatial form.

The renovation project involved layout planning of a single floor showroom, exhibition module design and a 195-metre facade renovation.

Formed from individual unit, to cluster, to full arrangement, the spatial layout mimics the real home setting, at the same time creating a visiting path that feels intuitive and unhurried. The design introduces a modular exhibition system — wooden display units that interlock like tetris pieces, foldable for transport and reconfigurable for different spatial arrangements.

A 41,488 sqm headquarters for a Taiwanese fashion brand in Guangzhou — 13 storeys above ground with a sky garden, suspended office volumes, pilotis and a transparent vault serving as runway and sky lobby. The design is organised around four distinct volumetric elements, each with a different character and programme.

A 10-storey condominium in Kuala Lumpur — two generous units flanking a central core on each floor. Double balconies on both long elevations open the building to its tropical climate, allowing it to breathe. The generous plans and layered outdoor spaces bring a quiet luxuriousness to everyday life.

The mechanised wooden screens on the facade were carefully studied and tested — rotating panels that modernise the craft tradition of Malay timber work. Together with local materiality throughout, the aim was a building that wears well with time: simple, organic, and rooted in its place.

A three-generation family set out to rebuild their home from the ground up. The original house was a single closed block — dim and humid — and light became the primary concern. Beyond that: a swimming pool for three children, a garden, a koi pond, and a collector's room for the owner.

The three hierarchic blocks in a C-shape layout emerged directly from this brief — each block loosely assigned to both a generation and a programme: the front to the living spaces and the master bedroom above, the middle to the kitchen and dining with the children's rooms on top, the furthest to the grandmother's quarters with the owner's collector's room above, all three connected around a shared courtyard.

Equal care was given to the linkages between blocks — the staircases, bridges and hallways were crafted to serve the light as much as to create unexpected spatial experiences along the way. Light was further invited through voids punched through ceilings and walls, coloured in different shades drawn from Le Corbusier's palette.

A former client asked for a tombstone to honour his late mother, who had been fond of gardens and horticulture. His father visited her resting place faithfully every weekend.

The response was a modest shelter in Carrara white marble — two cut-out religious symbols on each side allow sunlight and air to pass through. Nestled in grass, the design symbolises the enduring purity of their familial love and provides a tranquil space for reflection.

The house, originally built in the 1930s as a shophouse, was acquired by a young couple with a passion for modern design and vernacular art. The design bridges old and new — preserving the conservation facade while introducing a contemporary rear addition separated by a water court that draws light deep into the plan. The tiered profile of the new addition responds to Singapore's urban envelope regulations, turning a constraint into an architectural opportunity.

Double-height volumes, a hidden mezzanine, bridges and spiral staircases address the limits of a narrow plot while enriching daily life with changing spatial experiences. The vocabulary draws from early modernism — steel, glass, industrial craftsmanship — with red-painted fire-rated steel becoming a defining material element, a quiet homage to the Maison de Verre in Paris.
