OMO5 Hakodate

OMO5 Hakodate is a hotel located in front of Hakodate Station in Hokkaido, Japan. An existing building was rebranded, extended and renovated under the concept of 120 percent Hakodate.

Guest rooms feature wall illustrations of the Hakodate nightscape. The buffet restaurant has a live kitchen inspired by the star-shaped Goryokaku Fort, plus lanterns and pendant lights made from fishing nets.

Anantara Zanzibar

Anantara Zanzibar is a beachfront resort and residences project located in Nungwi, on the coast of Zanzibar, overlooking the Indian Ocean. The design combines local heritage with modern comfort. Limewashed walls, carved timber doors, handwoven lattice screens, and locally sourced coral stone are used throughout. Courtyards, pavilions, and verandas link indoor and outdoor spaces. The villas include private pools, sunken firepits, and lagoon decks. The layout guides guests from open social areas to quiet retreats.

Plastic Box

The project is an example of minimalist brutalism. The space redefines the shopping experience through bold aesthetics and innovative functionality. Conceived as a concrete shell with straight lines and geometric volumes, it conveys a sense of strength and permanence. The most distinctive element is the ceiling, composed of more than a thousand recycled plastic crates arranged in a modular, meticulously aligned manner.

Antalya

The Antalya Residence interior reinterprets Mediterranean warmth through refined material harmony and fluid spatial flow. Softly curved seating, custom CNC crafted wood panels, and layered lighting create an atmosphere of calm sophistication. Oak veneers, natural marble, porcelain slabs, and concrete textured finishes evoke a tactile dialogue between warmth and raw materiality. Designed for contemporary living, the space emphasizes emotional comfort, spatial continuity, and timeless elegance while celebrating craftsmanship and natural textures.

Kangding Garden

Kangding Garden is a residential interior design project in Shanghai that includes a club and show flats. The club occupies 1,800 square metres on the first basement level and serves more than 300 residents. An entire wall of Italian Calacatta marble is framed by a tall arch at the entrance. A marble frame surrounds a view of a Chinese tallow tree in the sunken courtyard. Three-metre-high timber doors lead to a tea lounge and a private dining suite. Beige stone, dark timber and a recurring curved motif recall the character of old Shanghai.

Top Toy

Top Toy is the interior design of a global flagship store located on Nanjing East Road in Shanghai. The store uses a gamified spatial language inspired by toy packaging and classic gaming consoles. The facade recalls a blister package, and the staircases are arranged like game levels. Colorful character zones, coffee spots and building blocks form scenes that guide exploration. Modular construction and bold colors support the playful theme. The design aims to make physical retail interactive and emotionally engaging for visitors of all ages.
