Press Glass

Press Glass is an office headquarters building set on a green plateau in Konopiska, Poland. The ground floor plan is an equilateral triangle with a span of 80 metres and encloses an inner courtyard. Offices are placed along the outer facade, while relaxation and open space zones surround the courtyard, so each workplace receives daylight and views of the landscape. Concrete, steel and glass form the structure, and prestressed concrete allows wide spans. Fan-shaped terraces and natural colours blend the building into the surrounding land.

House in Repino

House in Repino is a private house located in Repino, Leningrad region, Russia. The house has a total area of 1000 square meters. The villa community set one strong rule: all residences had to follow a Wright-like style. The design takes the rule into account and interprets the style in an original way. The house is integrated into the landscape. Existing trees are preserved as far as possible, and some trees pass through the canopies to create a rhythm and a closer relation between architecture and nature. Stone, wood and metal are the main materials.

Haikou Bay

Haikou Bay is a five-star hotel located in Hainan, China. The design is based on the sail, forming an S-shaped mass that links the city and the ocean. The long building is cut by three urban view corridors, which open views and reduce the apparent street scale. A single-loaded corridor plan gives every guest room an ocean view, and the average building depth is 14 metres. The sea-front facades recall ocean waves, while the city-side facades stress horizontal lines. The oval ballroom carries a sloping green roof, reached by a spiral ramp for public activities.

Adjacent cement silos were refurbished into a bookstore. The venue also contains an auditorium and a long exhibition wall. Film and literature festivals are held there for local residents and visitors.
