The project featured renovation and extension of a historical building from 1890 in the city of Wejherowo, north of Poland.
The disused building of a former school was transformed to house a cozy hotel with a restaurant and a multifunctional space on the ground floor.
Lavi was developed with the purpose of promoting wellness through tasty raw foods. The name itself, inspired by the Haitian language, signifies LIFE. The whole concept surfaces from the notion that healthy, truly nutritious foods are the means by which to foster longevity and the betterment of individual’s quality of life. The architectural design of the restaurant has been inspired by the same concepts of the brand, creating an atmosphere capable of nurturing all five senses through the combination of its simplicity and orderliness with the nourishing, fresh raw foods served.

Concept: Coexistence of old and modern appearance
This building with Gwanghwamunhaemul is believed to have been built in 1940. We wanted to see the Gwanghwamunhaemul as a brand suitable for Jeong-dong, where the modern and old tastes coexist, and thought that they were both modern and contemporary in the 1940s. So, before we started to look for the old look of space, we started ironing out the wooden ceiling, the interior and exterior structural material of the metal, as well as the modern design elements.

For life-style brand “Genshang”, We designed their new tea house on Madang road, downtown of Shanghai. The client wishes to have a place for the slow life in contrast with the daily fast-paced life. We approached the project by making a gentle sequence, from the entrance shop, long tea bar, dining area to the lounge room at the end.
A design plan is the result of thinking about ‘How will it be seen?’ and ‘How will we see it?’ The interference with the existing landscape was minimized by composing only with the externally exposed structure and transparent walls.
BEGINNING
This project was totally different from other architecture & interior design works.
I was with the client from the site selection, one step ahead of the usual commission process.
The project is located on the ground floor of Chengdu Shangri-La Hotel with a street frontage.There are two categories with a single kitchen,one is for the Japanese-style barbecue Robatayaki, the other is for Kaiseki which is a traditional Japanese meal brought in courses. Referring two different traditional typology of Japanese houses, civilian’s house and tea-room of Samurai, we extracted characteristic elements and expanded them multiple-layered, so to create an enduring space without being consumed.
