Tirpse

Tirpse is a restaurant and bar interior located inside a retail development in Hong Kong. The space of 3200 square feet is planned around the story of a visit to a chef's private dining hut. Five key elements shape the interior: a forest and its surroundings, the chef's wolf companion, the private hut, a tale told through food and a treasure chest. The treasure chest is a secluded seating area placed in a deep corner. Simple materials and details were selected to suit a three month construction period and a limited budget.

Pure Essences

Pure Essences is an interior design project for an architecture firm in Tainan, Taiwan. The building volumes are gradually recessed, creating balconies that receive ample sunlight for the working areas. Fair-faced concrete and grey slate are used on the exterior and inside, giving a consistent and low-key appearance that matches the surrounding environment. Stone pavers with grass between them improve the water retention of the soil. A small pool and a tree help moderate the temperature. The layout provides smooth circulation and open views toward the garden.

GRND Coffee

GRND Coffee is a cafe interior designed within a space of 30 square metres. The old building has weak partition walls, so a separate steel structure was added to act as an envelope. The envelope is finished with oak wood in a herringbone pattern with brass dividers. Brass spacers repeat the pattern in the polished terrazzo floor. Marble surfaces and polished brass inserts are combined with industrial elements. Instead of standard tables and chairs, a row of upholstered benches runs along one wall. Small, lightweight tables can be moved to suit each guest.

Materials include white marble effect floor tiles, a steel frame structure and gray marble. Sprayed wall finishes and wood lines add warmth to the space.

Masa

Masa is a beauty club interior located in Shanghai. The lobby artwork is inspired by a poem on the four seasons of life by the British poet Keats. Handmade brass artwork casts the shadows of English letters naming the four seasons through natural light, so the stages of life are compared to the changing seasons. The main area is finished in white Corian, with brass lines on the floor and a curved ceiling wall. Terrazzo and wood complete the material palette. Partitions organize the space, while soft fabric armchairs and an atomizing fireplace create a relaxed atmosphere.
