Lithuania House of Basketball is an exceptionally designed Basketball Museum building, located in an exclusive location between urbanistic old town, near the historic Kaunas Castle and natural Santaka Park, at the confluence of the largest Lithuanian rivers.
The laconic building is the last building of Kaunas Old Town urban fabric, which seems to complete the quarter – a passer-by is already entering Santaka Park here.
Emily Event Hall is the largest and probably the most modernized event hall in Western Ukraine, designed for 1500 guests. Multipurpose space is suited for big shows, concerts, festivals, business conferences, corporate and personal events.
Crowd events are always about emotions. We aimed to create a design that works like a magnifying glass for them. We built an impressive installation to maximize the emotions of each event, taking place in Emily Event Hall and making memories that will last a lifetime. The wall with the waved shape that goes along the whole hall and works as a media screen is 1500 m2 in size.
The “BEN MOO Brand Exhibition Hall”, located on the fifth floor of Fusen-Noble House in Nanmen, is one of the latest works carefully planned and designed by Rene Liu and Jiajun Tang, the design directors of HDC Design.
This exhibition hall is a brand-new design work created by the designers after carefully reading the series composition and development concept of BEN MOO products, together with the brand, using a restrained and spiritual design aesthetic. Therefore, in terms of functionality, aesthetic significance, and the sense of “communication” in contemporary commercial space, it has reached a high degree of fit.
A pharmaceutical company based in Sant Cugat wanted a project to connect diferent buildings together through their respective lower levels, in an attempt to transform this space into a Hall, a Foyer and an Auditorium.
In architecture you often hear that an empty space should be defined by what’s built in it, nothing more, nothing less. The empty space was there, already built, naked… and we became tailors instead of architects. From the measurements of the naked body (waistline, hips, the way the shoulders fall down) a tailor reimagines the body in fabrics. Rediscovering it through imagination and covering it with tangible shapes, all in the same effort.
The project is located in Hall 2, Fusen Mall, Chengdu, China, which gathers many brands and also forms a unique immersive shopping experience center. The project is on the left side of the escalator on the third floor of the mall, facing the atrium, but it is easy to be missed by consumers in the actual sight . How to solve this problem is an urgent problem for design.
Featuring a huge expanse of greenery surrounded by high-end residential developments, museums and concert halls, the Ersha Island is actually the central park of Guangzhou. However, according to its original planning in 1980’s, all the developments on this island were targeted at foreign buyers and ordinary local citizens were even denied access to it, which demonstrates its superior location. In the beginning of 1990’s, the government started to build a “Cultural Golden Coast” along its southern bank and a series of first-class art venues including the Guangdong Museum of Art and Xinghai Concert Hall emerged one after another on the scene. Now the Island has become synonym of “high-brow” in the eyes of Guangzhou people.

Designs for The Forestias– a new residential-led masterplan with a large forest at its heart – have been revealed. Located on the outskirts of Bangkok, the pioneering development addresses the growing disconnect between contemporary city life and family traditions, underpinned by the idea of health and wellbeing. It focusses on the themes of serving the community, promoting multi-generational family co-living and reconnecting with nature, providing a template for healthier and happier urban living in Thailand. The entire development is based on smart city principles, with autonomous vehicles, smart meters and sensor networks.
The offices, showrooms and production halls of the Van Hoecke company are enlarged by means of two extensions in the multipurpose building on the one hand and in the production hall and the office building on the other.
The new multipurpose building is adjacent to the production hall and consists of two storeys. It is planned at the rear of the site. Landscape architects provide an environmental layout on this side of the plot.
The cosmopolitan district of San Salvario is enriched by a new urban spot: CX Turin Belfiore.
The structure, that has its roots in the most dynamic neighbourhood of Turin, has been the subject of a functional and distributive restyling, able to break the compositional rigor to host a new hospitality format: a box of Long Stay and Short Stay where different generations and experiences are mixed, creating a dynamic and always changeable atmosphere.
