Source One Vodka

Source One Vodka is a bottle and packaging design for a single-estate vodka distilled from locally grown oats and water from Sierra snowmelt. The glass structure is formed from offset panels inspired by greenhouse architecture, creating the illusion of an endless spiral when the bottle is turned. The width of each panel was calculated to suit the bottle circumference and to stay parallel to the two-part mold. The labels are printed on cotton paper with debossing, embossing and foil stamping. The closure is made of birch wood and natural cork.

San Liang Jiang

San Liang Jiang is packaging for a liquor inspired by the culture of Sanxingdui, an ancient site in Chinese history. The ceramic bottle takes its form from a bronze human face, and the upper part of the bottle can be used as a cup. Spray paint and gold stamping are applied to the surface, and black is the main colour. The bottle is wrapped in a clay-like material and placed inside a convex tin box measuring 250 by 175 by 100 millimetres. Small shovels, brushes and hammers are included, so the bottle is uncovered like an excavated relic.

Yan

The design of the bottle was inspired by nature and the principles of bio mimicry specifically the form of a bitten apple. This was meant in order to show the organic quality of the product inside. This anatomy results in complementary shapes which when placed next to one another on shelves or during transportation allow to maximise the saving of space. The name of the brand is inscribed on the label with a stylised calligraphy. This calligraphy evokes the colour and appearance of thin grass as a nod to Nature.

Nine Court Mansion

Nine Court Mansion is a residential landscape design located in Chongqing, China. The project covers 11952.75 square meters and includes hard pavement, green areas and water features. The spatial layout is inspired by the structure of the Forbidden City. A central axis links three groups of spaces that guide residents from the entrance to the home. Traditional elements such as pitched roofs and dragon scales are simplified in shape and material, and carving is used instead of printing. Plant communities create a green microclimate for daily life.
