Lafonce Maxone

Lafonce Maxone is a cultural and commercial complex located in Xi'an, China. The interior brings together a shopping mall, a bookstore and other business types under a single book theme. Two artistic book walls, 18 metres high and 240 metres long in total, hold hundreds of thousands of books and are built with steel structures and transparent glass. The glass allows light to spread into the void area of the building. The original structure had been left unused for three years, and its open volume was kept to create a strong sense of space.

Sissis Wonderland

Sissis Wonderland is a reading space for children, covering 108 square meters in Shanghai. The layout is inspired by the game of blowing bubbles, as rooms of different scales are joined together so that open and private areas overlap. Wood is the main material, combined with white paint and a soft grey floor finish. Stairs of varied heights, bookshelves that also serve as seats, zigzagging ramps and small arches are built to a child scale. Green plants grow where the spaces meet. The design turns the space itself into a large toy for exploration and play.

Nostalgic Tunes

Le Ble D'or is a restaurant and bar interior in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, completed in May 2016. The design follows a nostalgic industrial theme. Recycled iron pieces are joined with wood veneer, and the joining angles and colors were adjusted repeatedly to create varied visual effects from the same materials. Mottled beer bottle walls and a large false window bring an image of continuous oxidation into the interior. Dark materials and careful color use capture subtle changes of light and shadow. The layout aims to create a strong sense of time and a close link between the space and its visitors.
