Curve

Curve is a residential interior design for a 600 square meter apartment in a skyscraper in central Ningbo. The layout breaks the traditional square plan and takes inspiration from water droplets. Each droplet is treated as a distinct space, and droplets of different sizes are combined into flowing curved rooms. The curved walls and ceilings are built with glass fiber reinforced gypsum. Sustainable materials are used, including low emission paint, sintered stone flooring and certified boards. Stainless steel along the windows reflects daylight deeper into the rooms.

LuxLinea

Lux Linea is an ophthalmology clinic in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, Japan. The clinic covers a gross built area of 250 square meters and has a floor plan shaped as a right trapezoid. Two sides are fully glazed, and bright daylight creates reflections that hide the interior. Illuminated transparent panels answer this problem. The panels are acrylic sheets printed with straight lines and lit at the edges by LED tape. Mirrors on the ceiling and walls repeat the light lines. The panels placed beside the waiting chairs also give patients privacy.

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.

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.
