Yada Xishan Hotel Yixing

Located at the ecological park of Yixing Provence of China, the new Unbounded Collection of Hyatt Group is a retreat into nature. In-between architects designed the 99 rooms using the idea of a mountain teahouse as a metaphor. Seth Powers Seth Powers Seth Powers “The ceremony was an improvised drama whose plot was woven about the tea, the flowers, and the paintings. Not a color to disturb the tone of the room, not a sound to mar the rhythm of things, not a gesture to obtrude on the harmony, not a word to break the unity of the surroundings, all movements to be performed simply and naturally--such were the aims of the tea-ceremony."

Seriphos Estate

Two steps away from Agios Ioannis beach in Serifos is the two-part residence Seriphos Estate; comprising Kelyphos (upper apartment) and Edaphos (lower apartment), it is a product of modernization, (re)formation, and overall inspiration from Cycladic aesthetics. Yiorgos Kordakis Yiorgos Kordakis The design incorporates, in various ways and intensities, the characteristic Greek horizon between sky and sea, the element of dry and rugged land, and mainly the bright summer light. It's no coincidence that the common denominator of all the names (Kelyphos, Edaphos, Seriphos) is the suffix ‘-phos,’ which phonetically alludes to the word “light” in Greek.  Yiorgos Kordakis Yiorgos Kordakis Yiorgos...

+PINK

+PINK is a new South-East Asian restaurant brand, launched in Beijing in 2024. The brand aims to use culinary experiences to activate an enthusiasm for life, appealing to a young Gen Z demographic with a dining space which offers a futuristic interpretation of South-East Asian style.  Seth Powers The brand is most evidently represented in the restaurant colour scheme: a range of soft pink and terracotta tones bring a consistent warm tonality to the space. Layered on to this base palette of warm-hued materials are a series of elements inspired by repurposed industrial components. This is first experienced at the façade, where a series of heavy-duty ratchet straps are used to support an iconic LED signage system.  This... Altro

Chocolatería San Gines Mexico

The Chocolatería San Ginés franchise project in CDMX focused on adapting the Spanish business to a contemporary and local Mexican context.

Blazing Night

Taking Apollo and Dionysus as aesthetic symbols, Nietzsche explored the dialectic spirit state: dreaming and intoxicating, illusion and ego. The space's name - Blazing Night, consisting of contrasting imagery. Therefore, we take the dialectic spirits as a spatial metaphor from the perspective of time. Blazing Night is based on a compound model of a cafe by day/a bar by night to illustrate the vision of interacting with the future. Therefore, using time as a design concept, we transform the complex commercial format into an immersive emotional experience.  Caption The light gives us the basic perception of time. Taking the variation of time as a design idea, we deploy visual languages to compose a flowing spatial narrative: as da... Altro
