OPPO Flag Store / DOMANI

July 9, 2020 Collin Chen 0

Compared with the traditional mobile phone sales scene, we hope to give consumers some more open and free space. The space for liberalization weakens the innate animal strangeness and aggression between people. As a result, the entrance part of the flagship store is completely open, and there is no obvious trace of any goods within the sight of the passers-by, which weakens the commercial aggression. Whether it is brand communication or sales, people are maximized.

One room (9m span) childcare room
The nursery school built in Dazaifu, a city located near Fukuoka city, had to be extended for two classes in order to increase the accommodation of children.

The owners of the apartment are a young couple that completely entrusted me with the design of the apartments. They liked my non-standard approach to design. Having taken this project, I decided to create a bold project that will give you the opportunity to forget about the hard everyday life and help you take a break from the noisy metropolis. Light, gentle, slightly heady interior. Terracotta-pink walls add originality to the entire design.
