Qionglai Bamboo Pavilion
Qionglai, Chengdu, China
A bamboo museum at the gateway to the West Sichuan bamboo sea — a sweeping canopy that captures the rolling waves of the forest. Completed in 2022 and published on ArchDaily.
Liuzhou Luosifen Urban Pavilion
Liuzhou, Guangxi, China
The civic centrepiece of Luosifen Town — two white shells abstracted from the karst peaks of Liuzhou. Winner of the Architecture MasterPrize and the DNA Paris Design Awards 2021.
Prefabricated Buildings
China · Global delivery
Six adaptable building families for landscape hospitality — from tent and bamboo structures to timber, tree-house, container and panoramic-room systems.
Huiyuan Ancient Town Masterplan
Yili, Xinjiang, China
An integrated masterplan for the Qing-dynasty garrison town of Huiyuan — a cultural destination woven through drum towers, garrison courts and market streets.
Chengdu Tianfu Film Capital
Chengdu, Sichuan, China
A 40-hectare film and cultural-industry district for SUNAC — a park-city ecosystem for the full cinema production chain, composed as a contemporary reading of the western-Sichuan linpan.
Ranwu Village Revitalization
Xiangcheng, Garze, Sichuan, China
Rural revitalization of a Tibetan valley village — acupuncture-scale renovation, scattered boutique lodges and a cultural centre, all within a protected landscape of extraordinary calm.
New Road — Daocheng Visitor Centre
Daocheng, Garze, Sichuan, China
A low stone-and-timber visitor centre on the new tourism route to Daocheng — a deep sheltering roof floating over local masonry, glowing among the boulders at dusk.
Chongqing Jiangjin Kindergarten
Jiangjin, Chongqing, China
A kindergarten designed as a landscape of play — walls, ground and roof all become places to run, climb and chase, dissolving the boundary between building and playground.
