DHAWA Jinan Daming Lake

Dhawa Jinan Daming Lake is a resort hotel created within the former Jiangxi Guild Hall, built in the eighteenth century. The protected historical buildings were conserved and adapted for modern hospitality use. Traditional elements were studied and reinterpreted through new compositions, materials and textures. The hotel has a design area of about 16200 square meters and offers 99 guest rooms with bathrooms, bars, a spa, restaurants and conference rooms. A glass staircase with a grid glass ceiling brings daylight into the lobby and links the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Rene

Rene Final Call is a live concert tour stage designed for an arena audience. The four-sided stage measures 28 meters wide, 22 meters long and 2.2 meters high, so sightlines stay balanced. A central turntable rises to 3.6 meters and works with ten independent lifts to form changing topographies. The concert unfolds in four chapters, moving from an underwater scene to terraced rings of turf and cacti. A vertical three-dimensional LED matrix presents a flowing display of lyrics. Modular components allow the structure to be reassembled and reused.

Each visitor receives an Orb, a handheld sphere that guides the route and activates interactive installations, including a 360 degree dome film created with generative artificial intelligence. The structure is designed for disassembly, so all components can be reused after the exposition.

Op.2-3

This trophy, designed for the 2024 Seoul Living Design Fair, draws inspiration from basic architectural elements such as columns, beams, and slabs, reinterpreted through contemporary materials and fabrication methods. Crafted in acrylic, it reflects the logic of traditional Korean joinery while exploring light, shadow, and material change. The form shifts with angle and illumination, at times glowing, reflecting, or casting colored shadows, combining structural clarity with sensory depth through precise assembly research.

Rixing Go Digital

Rixing is the world's last and only type foundry that's still making traditional Chinese letterpress.

This project aims at helping Rixing deliver its value proposition by implementing a self-guided service for visitors to learn about the history, artefacts, techniques, and commodities of letterpress on their own, leaving staff more time to better serve their customers.
