Shangen Village is a renovation project in Wenzhou, dedicated to transforming the once traditionally built village into a tourism destination. SpActrum left the project soon after we proposed the master plan during 2017-2018. The village has been hugely cleaned up since then but has lost some of its ancient ambience. The once charming chaos has turned into the blankness of purposeful building activity. The SpActrum team became involved again, aiming to recall and restore the power of ambiguity once felt on the site, and started to work on an empty plot by the village bridge.

the main challenge was to generate a well-integrated scheme into its monumental setting, respecting its existing built heritage.

Miwo Hotel is located on the top of a mountain in Suichang County, Lishui City. It is rich in tea hills and reservoirs and named after hot springs. It is a popular resort for tourists to spend their holidays there. The name “Mi Wo” hopes that the hotel can have the temperature of a home, and will come from far away guests, to enjoy this beautiful scenery. In view of the unique geographical environment of the hotel surrounded by mountains, the designer used white paint on the building, like an off-white tree nest, depicting the boundary between light and dark in the forest, creating a unique landscape standing in the mountains. From a distance, the hotel was faintly visible through the trees, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, like a hidden nest of white trees.

Aayi is the Marathi term for mother. Aayi is an attempt to create a timeless-looking Goan home, built as a tribute to the client’s parents. The project embodies the brief of being contemporary and minimalistic while being in harmony with the countryside context of the site. The site is a corner plot bound by a village road on one side and a main road on the other wherein nestled in the top left corner of the plot, amidst a lush clump of coconut trees, lies the development. The house is a South-West facing structure with a building on the North on the neighboring property and one on the East, within the property. Aayi sits effortlessly on a fourth of the lush green farmland with its clean design weaving beautifully into its surroundings.
