Hangzhou Empathy Museum is a community art museum in Hangzhou, China, created from an unfinished project that included a completed underground garage. The design converts part of the basement into galleries and wraps the above ground structure in curved stainless steel panels, forming a reflective urban shell. With a dramatic three storey spatial canyon, perforated facades and integrated underground exhibition halls, the museum redefines adaptive reuse and positions art as part of everyday city life.

Alfinach Development is a residential project of three industrialised houses conceived as a unified architectural composition.
The Inverted Farmhouse is a contemporary architectural intervention that reconsiders the future of rural heritage in Switzerland. By reversing the original domestic and agricultural functions of a 19th century farmhouse, the project transforms the former barn into a new dwelling while converting the original house into a greenhouse dedicated to permaculture. Through a timber structural grid aligned with the existing roof framework, the inserted living volume remains embedded within the logic of the historic structure. Intermediate spaces emerge as productive and social thresholds, redefining the relationship between living, cultivation, and architectural memory.
This project explores how architecture can act as a living system where spatial energy is not an abstract concept but a daily experience shaped through movement, interaction, and ritual. Conceived as a kinetic cafe in a small town in Zhejiang, China, the design integrates branding, interior architecture, and mechanical elements into a coherent spatial narrative. Through rotating plans, movable structures, and responsive facades, everyday actions such as entering, serving, sitting, and gathering become carriers of architectural meaning. The project positions the cafe as a social condenser, where space actively participates in shaping community life.
This project explores how an existing building can be re read through deliberate structural disruption. By inserting a visible and intrusive structural system, limiting demolition, and working systematically with lines, colour, and reflective surfaces, the intervention transforms friction and imperfection into architectural agency.
