The Villa Mar Residence in Malibu offers a bespoke living experience, boasting a contemporary design and an expansive open floor plan complete with all modern amenities. Situated atop a hill in Malibu, the residence is intricately crafted to harmonize with its breathtaking natural surroundings.

The master living quarter unveils an awe-inspiring ocean vista to the Southeast, while the guest living quarters overlook a serene valley of protected oakwood fields to the Northwest. Each living quarter is meticulously designed as a distinct entity, showcasing a 12-foot-high glass storefront wall that perfectly frames the picturesque views. The sloped roofs facing the view not only amplify the height of the glass wall but also facilitate natural ventilation, capitalizing on the temperate coastal climate of the region.

A defining architectural feature of the residence is the woven aluminum tube trellis, elegantly enveloping the structure both vertically and horizontally. This striking feature creates covered spaces over the patios, seamlessly blending the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living areas through the use of glass folding doors.

Designed by SECONEA, "The Hill" House of Fairy Tales is an embodiment of experiential storytelling, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a journey of enchantment and discovery. Serving as a physical manifestation of a treasury of fairy tales, "The Hill" represents a visionary concept for a new type of museum.

Strategically situated in the heart of Odense's city center, a historic locale famously associated with the renowned storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, "The Hill" stands as a pivotal landmark amidst the city's forthcoming transformation. With the city center poised for significant redevelopment, the museum's presence is poised to profoundly influence the success of the overarching urban planning initiatives.

This proposal underscores the importance of seamlessly bridging the gap between tradition and innovation within a rapidly evolving urban landscape. "The Hill" seeks to serve as a nexus where the timeless charm of Andersen's narratives intersects with the dynamism of contemporary urban life, creating an immersive experience that resonates with visitors of all ages.

Detroit has long been the center of the auto industry. MOTOR CITY well represents its unique international image. However, decades-long decline in the manufacturing industry has eroded the city’s rich history and legacy. This project is a revamping Detroit’s existing identity, MOTOR CITY, toward MOBILITY VALLEY, which is a new transportation-related business hub based on Detroit’s existing industries like auto, creative, education, and culture. MOBILITY VALLEY is a creative business zone where every discipline- IT, Technology, Design, Entertainment, and Business - interact to define a new transportation lifestyle and its market that will re-identify Detroit as a creative transportation business zone. It begins with a creation of MOBI-CUBATOR on the previous Hudson site. MOBI-CUBATOR is an interdisciplinary think tank and brain center of MOBILITY VALLEY. Three Anchor programs are Trans Design School, Trans Museum, and Start-Up Lab for IT, Tech, media, and engineering. It is supported by the transportation museum that interweaves anchor programs and where visitors can experiment and interacts with the future transportation lifestyle. Together, MOBI-CUBATOR will foster rich interactions between creative disciplines and will be the international center of the creative transportation industry that will link all Detroit’s industry to generate new market and growth.

Having weathered the storm of history, Petrovsky Island is cast adrift. The island’s marina, stadium, parks, industry, and heritage all give the island a depth and richness, and yet it has never developed a coherent identity as a place within the city. Saint Petersburg, as a constellation of islands, has the unique ability to realize the specif c potential of localized areas while f tting them into the framework of the larger city. Whereas now the island is a composite of various urban fragments, a comprehensive masterplan is required to treat the island as a singular entity, and reshape it as a single landscape. Because of Petrovsky Island’s prominent location, this radical transformation will change the entire cityscape, offering a model of innovation and regeneration.

The new conservatory lab school at Fort Point Bay, Boston is a physical manifestation of its pedagogical philosophy: music is a foundation of early childhood development and learning.

Housing this progressive music school, which is currently in planning to relocate to Fort Point Bay and to facilitate K-8 education, the new vertical campus will reinforce learning through music by placing a central spiral music stair to connects all academic floors. The spiral music stair will connect all floors by means of music, both physically and visually. The bottom floor is group music performing studio and the spiral stairs will provide listening and viewing flatform for peers from all levels above.

Another strategy is a connection to the surrounding community, which is an innovative district at Fort Point by continuing the Harbor Walkthrough of the building. Ground floor and second floor, where performance hall, ensemble rooms, the gallery are located around the Harbor Walk to invite neighbors and can be accessible from the main entrance off from the Harbor Walk. For the safety and security of the school, all academic floors will be separated and controlled from the public spaces. Students will enjoy a rooftop playground which will be available during lunch hour from the dining hall and a floating playing field over the fort point channel.

The musical rhythm continues on the building envelope. inspired by musical scores, the patterned curtain wall creates rhythmic movement along a fort point channel and will be the school identity.
