Breeze Engine – Hostel, Company Retreat and Training Center
A showcase sustainable project for South China

“Breeze Engine” is a building in subtropical climate that is devel­oped as a large natural ventilation equipment – a motor-less breeze engine.

High Degree of Optimization

The project is developed to achieve high de­grees of optimization that are achieved through a series of inventions — similar to the inventions and optimizations leading to human flight from early gliders and flying machines to the airplane. — where characteristics, shape and use of each element is in a tight interdependent relationship with every other element. We believe that optimization, at its best, results in unique aesthetic qualities, ingenious and admirable technology — think Tesla’s induction motor, Eames chairs or gothic cathedrals.
