The Peacock

The Peacock is a wine cellar of about ten square meters. The cellar is lined with one thousand blue glazed terra cotta tiles, each shaped and finished by hand. The tiles are arranged in a triple curved array inspired by the form of a peacock. Each tile holds a wine bottle and carries a small light that illuminates the tile below, so the only other light source is a single spotlight above the central table. The tiles were made by artisans in Jingdezhen, China, using a feather textured blue glaze of the Song Dynasty. Cooling is managed by a smart controller.

Living The Noom

Living The Noom is a residential complex designed around three principles: wellness living, sustainability and flexible living. The complex consists of three buildings of five stories each, built with a concrete structure and an independent bamboo facade. Every floor is an open space that can be arranged in several apartment layouts with one, two or three bedrooms. Bioclimatic strategies include rainwater harvesting, greywater treatment, green roofs and solar panels. The buildings occupy 30 percent of the lot, so much of the existing vegetation is preserved.

The Shard

Shard is a sales office in Chongqing, China, created through the renovation of an existing building. Deconstruction techniques were used to break the traditional enclosed layout and to form a flowing open space. The shapes of the design are inspired by natural mountains and rocks. The facade is composed of aluminum units shaped like paper cranes, which give the building the character of an artwork within the city. The building area is 3000 square meters. The aim is to support interaction between people, art and space.

Ormankoy Community Centre

Ormankoy Community Centre is a public building located in Istanbul, Turkiye. A wooden shell defines the character of the community centre, while wide glazed facades open the indoor spaces to the surrounding forest. A steel frame structure creates the distinctive form and rests on concrete beams spanning over 18 metres above the pool space. Two biological ponds on different levels cover 4000 square metres, and hard chemicals were avoided to protect wildlife and pets. The wooden cladding is expected to change colour and texture over time, like the seasons of the forest.
