SND No. 4 Middle School is located in Suzhou Fengqiao District, which was described as an ideal resting place for scholars in Chinese poetry called “Night Park at Fengqiao”. Jiangfeng Bridge’s historic spots, the Ancient Canal, Hanshan Temple, and Jiangfeng Cottage have a lasting and profound influence on the Fengqiao area.
Our client New Shoots saw an opportunity in a site which many others thought was unusable. Originally, the site was split into two areas by a stream and had become an abandoned and neglected wasteland that stored and collected motorway run-off. The site was overgrown and an eyesore in an otherwise attractive neighborhood.
The unique architectural form of Bafeng Retreat is an attempt at a fusion of Central Asian, vernacular, and modern architectural elements, an homage to the status of Turpan as a melting pot of cultures, religions, and peoples throughout history. The finished project is hidden in the leafy foliage of the Grape Valley, therefore completely integrated into both natural and built environments.
Our client farmed this site with her late husband for over 40 years. They raised a family in a small post war cottage and packing shed. The soil is embedded with family stories, sweat and blood, along with it a deep connection to place.
the environmentally friendly cement is made from recycled industrial waste brine.

Loft RLO was designed as a pavilion that seeks to capture a life inherently connected to living outdoors. A single-story residence with generous proportions, with just one suite, one bathroom, and two half-baths, that values being and living together, blurring the lines that separate the outdoors from the indoors. The project explores the relationship between occupied space and voids, from the entrance pathway to the glass doors that open up completely and vanish into the walls. This creates a single large living space out of a dining room, kitchen, porch, and pool deck.
