Namaste village
Located in Norwich UK - built in 1887 as a Methodist Church Hall is now a home to Vegetarian Indian Restaurant “Namastey Village.” The concept of this design is derived from it's name "village". As the building is listed under heritage property, civil structure was retained on site as is. The design is focused to create the experience of an Indian village which introduces the locals to our culture and cuisines.

Namhansansung Historical Museum
The historical museum was completed on a sloping site over 500m above sea level surrounded by the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Namhansanseong' and the attractive surrounding natural environment. This project was the result of exploring whether we could create spaces and flows by shaping a historic fortress in sunken ground. Its symbolic facade was given by allowing an open view of the front of the building by using the difference in land height. Accordingly, a lot of effort was made to separate the movement lines between the vehicle entrance and the walking independent entrance in consideration of the difference in the level of the 12m road on the left side of the building.

Bunker 599
A seemingly indestructible bunker with monumental status is sliced open. It opens up the minuscule interior of one of NDW’s 700 bunkers, the insides of which are normally cut off from view completely. In a radical way this intervention sheds new light on the Dutch and UNESCO policy on cultural heritage.
Paradoxically, after the intervention Bunker 599 became a Dutch national monument. Moreover our artwork is recently listed as UNESCO world heritage (!) as part of the New Dutch Waterline

The Diptych by Para Project speaks to urban UNESCO Heritage fabric
A temporary pavilion for the 2021 Brugge Triennale, TraumaA, Brugge, Belgium, The Diptych by PARA Project and Principal Jon Lott served as an event space for the event’s programming. Positioned mid-block and abutting a 15th-century canal house, the pavilion further addresses what its authors describe as the issue of urban trauma.

The wood-framed pavilion stood on 15 sistered pontoons so as not to make direct contact with the protected UNESCO Heritage fabric of the city. Its adjacency to the historic canal house is what Lott describes as a study in formal estrangement.

Despite this, through building orientation, material, scale, and posture, the pavilion recognizes something of itself... More
