MIDTOWN APARTMENT RENOVATION

This renovation project began with the concept of relocating the bathroom door to a different wall, ensuring it no longer directly faced the kitchen. Another key objective was to maximize space utilization in the bedroom corridor. Elements of classic design were incorporated, while carefully curated artwork was displayed on walls to enhance the space's overall aesthetic appeal.

CHELSEA APARTMENT

This is a partial renovation for an apartment that used to have a windowless kitchen, an improperly small dining space, and a living room whose wall blocks natural light from entering into the kitchen and dining space. The new design solved all of these problems and also transformed the separate kitchen and dining space into a large open kitchen that is spacious and multi-functional. Natural light can enter much deeper into the apartment thanks to the columns that replace the closed wall of the living room.

HAIMEN HOUSE

Our client favors western classic style architecture. He requested his house to be outstanding in aesthetics, while modest in building volume. A functional basement with a small sunk courtyard together with a recessed third floor helped achieve this goal. Functions reflecting Chinese lifestyle and western tastes were well balanced.

Condo Minneapolis

The building program includes a community grocery store, artist studios, and condos. These functions are differentiated by three distinctive masses that are put together with some collaborative design elements, which unify all programs as one building. The condo portion is tilted to echo the unique urban grid the site sits in. Glass boxes with geometric shapes work with vertical linear elements to give the building a classical taste.

INTELLECTUALS APARTMENTS CONCEPT DESIGN

This is a residential development dedicated to attracting intellectuals to the city.  The client requests a portion of this development to be dedicated to single people or young couples, while the rest be provided to normal families. The design responds to the client’s request by offering different architectural characters to different portions: the younger portion carries dynamic shape, bright color, and functions that attract young, whereas the more sophisticated portion has a more serious look and more green spaces good for family activities.

UPPER WEST TOWNHOUSE RENOVATION

This project focused on adding new features and updating the MEP systems in a 1902 townhouse while maintaining and refreshing the building's historical elements.

The exterior brick and stone were cleaned and repaired as needed to keep the townhouse looking great.
