Dongguan Zhongshuge Library

Dongguan Zhongshuge Library is a bookstore interior located within a science and technology industrial park. The space spans three floors, with the main reading area rising from the first to the third floor. Gear elements form the central design language and serve as both decoration and bookshelves. A corridor on the second floor links a children's reading area, a forum area and a cultural and creative space with a coffee area. The children's area is inspired by a neutron source facility. Wood is used across nearly all elements to soften the industrial character.

Market

MRC Vison

Marche Vison is a food market built in Taki town, Mie prefecture, Japan. The complex is divided into four wings set under large curved roofs. Stepped slabs are linked by slopes, and the pitch of the wooden frames is aligned to form one continuous space. Smaller volumes stand beneath the roofs, creating a walking area of alleys and plazas. The open-air space under the roofs keeps visitors in contact with the seasons and reduces energy use. Rain falls from the eaves as a curtain, and local wooden louvres face the expressway.

Muji Eco-pavilion in Emptiness

In 2023, during the China International Import Expo, Atelier Forth Force specially designed a pavilion consisting of 7,524 interlocking wooden components. That was the exclusive pavilion for Muji, dedicated to the brand spirit: Nature, Naturally and Muji. Throughout the 6 day exhibition, as the pavilion wall transitioned from existence to non existence, 1,254 visitors to the Muji pavilion took away the screen system. Following the dismantling of the wall, the wooden components would be reassembled into a set of storage systems suitable for home use.

Nanbu Eye is a gymnasium built beside the Jialing River. The building covers 22,000 square meters and reaches 32 meters in height. The upper floor holds an indoor basketball arena with a capacity of 3,000 people.

A curved ribbon of colorful aluminum plates provides shading and encloses a public square, and cuts in the surface form three panoramic corridors along the water.

Changi Terminal 2

Changi Terminal 2 is an airport interior covering 120000 square meters across three levels in Singapore. The existing terminal building was completely redesigned to focus on the traveler experience and on connections to natural elements. The interior is arranged as a journey across an indoor landscape of minerals, water features and vegetation in varied forms and densities. Artisanal materials made by small craft workshops are used throughout. Technology is largely concealed to keep natural elements visible and to provide a calm environment.
