Chengdu Hyperlane Park

Hyperlane Park consists of 12 plots, spanned across the sky garden corridor, overlooking the city and project entrances. Designed as a 2.4 km continuous urban landscaped corridor, the sky walkway is a leisure space that cultivates a live-work dynamic. The project is proximal to a music conservatory. Inspired by syllabic rhythms and sounds, the design fosters this musical motif through six different groups of architectural forms. The fluid layout of the design grants the building unity with its surrounding textures to highlight the project's harmonious blend with its community.

City on the Loop

City on the Loop reimagines a flood prone coastline in Brooklyn as a continuous urban edge that adapts to rising sea levels. Built over existing infrastructure, the design introduces elevated housing, light rail, and flood resilient public programs in three phases. A land sea gradient replaces hard boundaries, enabling architecture, ecology, and community life to interact. The loop acts as both a spatial structure and an adaptive system, evolving with environmental shifts and offering a framework for future intelligent, climate-responsive governance.

O10 Station

Dual Mrt integration enhances mobility efficiency, while lower level retail extends the humanistic atmosphere of Weiwuying. Hotel and office towers reshape the skyline as a new urban gateway. Smart building systems regulate energy use and pedestrian flow, ensuring order and comfort in high density activity. Convenience is defined not only by speed of arrival, but by enabling cultural energy to permeate everyday life. As audiences exit the venue, street lighting and urban circulation set the rhythm for the next exchange.

Ural Forest

The Ural Forest series features modular playground equipment designed as geometric abstractions of local nature. Large asymmetrical tree structures, bear themed playhouses, and ant inspired elements facilitate varied play scenarios for multiple age groups. Constructed from stainless steel and larch wood, the units are engineered for extreme weather using parametric software and reinforced foundations. The modular system ensures efficient transport and assembly. Features include internal spiral labyrinths and communication pipes, combining physical challenge with social interaction.

Y15 Station

In a smart city context, aesthetics arise from operational precision. Y15 turns an MRT node into part of industrial efficiency. Skybridges link the cruise terminal and exhibition areas, creating a continuous rhythm of work, meetings, and mobility. High performance curtain walls reflect harbor light, while vertical structures support R and D, offices, and daily life. Digital systems optimize energy and flow, ensuring order in density.

Benjakitti

Benjakitti Park is located on the site of a disused tobacco factory in central Bangkok. The park's design incorporates wetland and forest ecosystems that deliver services including urban flood management, purification of polluted canal waters, and habitat for native plants and wildlife. The boardwalks and skywalks that crisscross the park are designed to immerse visitors in nature and to encourage them to reflect upon how humans and nature might live in harmony. The designers’ ambition is for the park to demonstrate the potential for nature-based approaches to urban sustainability.
