The Collage House consists of different elements that are put together in one space, evoking different feelings and emotions. That is why this house stands out from others.
Previously, the style of this house was a common one found in any suburban, building partition and making the place uncomfortable. It turns out that these walls block the natural light and wind into the space.
Jesolo is the Italian seaside town with the largest beach extension. The City is part of a once insular territory which only became a touristic destination in the 1930’s
Large reclamation works have connected the mainland to those islands where during the centuries small farms and fishermen villages had been built. Today Jesolo is part of a vast territory and finds itself near both Venice and the Dolomites, giving the city a privileged position attracting not only local visitors, but also those from Germany, Austria and many other Northern nations. Jesolo Lido is the most touristic part of this city and extends for almost 15 km along streets which run parallel to the sea. One of these roads, only a block away from the beach, is via Bafile, the main shopping street of the city.

Designed to attract the young, urban, and design-savvy, this 38-unit apartment building is located at the corner of Honore and Montrose Avenue in Chicago, IL, immediately adjacent to the Montrose Brown Line Station. The project consists of one- and two-bedroom units averaging 800 square feet, and provides over 5,000 square feet of leasable retail and restaurant space. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Chicago “El” trains and the remaining manufacturing structures in the area, the building is clad in various metal and brick textures, as if the building were constructed over time, like a small village.
House of light is a project located at the southern part of Taiwan. A house for client to enjoy the weekend and vacation with family when they get away from city. The natural beauty of this house is its adequate sunlight from three sides opened façade. The project is aiming to create an open, undivided living space to enjoy dinning, reading time with family around. The open living area is where the creation invented the most.
The water and the light are two archaic and fluid elements, used to reinvent a dark and severe villa on the Geneva lake, turning it into a house with a contemporary appeal. Long corridors, dark doors and window, fake terracotta floors; in the basement, a pool tiled with an obsolete pale blue mosaic, an old sauna, all surrounded by rustic plastered walls: this was the state of the villa before the intervention. To regain an harmonious dialogue with the “genius loci” of the lake, the beginning was the pool: turn it into a kind of added “living room”, as if it was a normal room, like any other but flooded by the water of the lake.
The private villa is located in Rapallo, near ther city of Genoa, facing the Tigullio Gulf. The land around the site is used as olive grove, in fact there are a beautiful trees with variable height between 3 and 4 meters (about 123 plants). Thanks to the excellent exposure (the slope is developed from north to south and overlooking the sea to the west), can be found also the fruit trees, typical of the Ligurian and Mediterranean peasant culture (fig, plum, carob, etc..) and small “clearings” used for horticultural crops. The project wants to recover the entire olive grove, thanks to the creation of a new building and related exterior maintenance. Stone and wood, (wild chestnut), are the traditional materials.

This is the project for a residence on the mountain slope with incredible ocean views including the view of Mt. Fuji.
Looking at the site context, it is not possible to have a view of the sea from the 1st floor level, 2nd floor level has ocean view but not easy to keep privacy from the back street, and only 3rd floor level has full ocean view. According to the site condition each floor is designed differently. The 1st floor has minimum floor area with de-formed concrete columns to create diagonal movement for enjoying outside activities, the 2nd floor has bedrooms like concrete shells and the 3rd floor has maximum floor area by cantilever with light weight wooden structure. Then the 3rd floor has a panoramic ocean view as the main space of the house.
