Hus

Hus is a small table that can also serve as a storage space or as a miniature house for children to play and learn the rudiments of arranging space. Many traditional dollhouses do not allow children to exercise their imagination and spatial planning, which is reflected also in adulthood. Hus familiarizes children with the principles of architecture and attentively designed interiors and lets them explore materials used in construction, like wood, concrete and clear panels. It is a piece of furniture which connects different generations by allowing them to spend quality time together.

Haus M

The shape of the building is meant to imitate an extract of a mine. The inside of the residence revolves around the living room, which measures 6 meters in height and is divided by a gallery layer. An open and tense spatial structure is being formed hereby. The frontal terrace plane operates like a stage set and creates more depth within the room.

The House for Contemporary Art

This home was designed for an art appreciator and amateur artist who wanted a “house like an art museum”. Planned with careful consideration for air circulation as well as for the harsh, snowy climate of the Japan Sea coast, the structure is composed of white boxes of varying scale that frame spaces like pictures. One of the main concepts is 'Seamless Spatial Composition'. You can circulate through the spaces in this home looking at the owner’s collection of artwork just as if you were passing through galleries in a museum.

Exocet

Exocet is an innovative concept chair. The ergonomic design allows to transform it into various furniture styles. From a tall chair to a double lounge chair or hammock-style rocker, it can be configured in several ways to meet different needs and wants. The Exocet is crafted from a single main piece. Identical slats are assembled around a cylinder offering a 360˚ rotation. Once the desired configuration is obtained, the user simply tightens the handle to lock the chair into position. Exocet is a new kind of chair for all kinds of moments.

Fuma

This house for a family of four stands along a railway line in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. To adapt to the site's exposure to train noise, vibrations, and flood risk, reinforced concrete was used. The second floor cantilevers 5.6m toward the street and 3.2m toward the parking area, allowing for single-story-style living on the second level within a three-story structure. Plants are placed throughout the architecture, such as in gardens and terraces, creating spaces where greenery and the built form intertwine, blending the home seamlessly with nature.
