The clothing workshop is placed in the most hidden part of the space.

Natural materials define the design, with wood veneer and solid wood lines used throughout. The floor combines Chinese black marble with wood grain tiles, and plain cement contrasts with large white walls. The layout draws on southern Chinese garden style.
Happy Home is a residential interior design for a three-storey house in Chongqing, China. The original building had a chaotic layout and no daylight on the lower ground floor. The interior was rebuilt through changes to the basement and a new cast-in-place floor slab on the second floor. The kitchen, dining room and fitness area were placed on the lower ground floor. Patios bring daylight and air to that level. A sunshine teahouse in the courtyard and a new terrace link the rooms with the outdoor scenery. The finished home covers 288 square meters and serves three generations.
South Branch Sign is the interior design of a Hong Kong-style chain restaurant in Changzhou. The project covers a total of 500 square meters. Different materials and colors define the functional areas, so physical partitions are reduced and the layout is read through invisible divisions.

The result is a calm and transparent space with a simple texture and a rational, modern character.

Anbuwa Lake is the interior design of a 900-square-meter villa. The scheme uses natural colors and materials, including grey, white and light wood.
