Inspired by the idea of a pavilion and the philosophy of the brand, our approach is to simply create a range of white-painted mesh strips, which constantly change in size and shape, to achieve the effect of a tunnel that brings safe and cozy feelings for every person stepping in.

The first floor is the fruit market, the second floor contains the offices, and the third and fourth floors consist of lounge areas for customers.

There were concerns that the juxtaposed characteristics between fruit – which inevitably make one ex...

The delicate white dining cafe emerges within an industrial landscape, embodying the blooming concept, translating organic forms into spatial arrangements.

Studio Amaro is like a “warm hug,” said its designer, Wendy Bergman, of Bergman and Co. While the newly opened 100-seat venue in Melbourne’s Windsor does indeed radiate a friendly, cosy ambience, it also conjures feelings of nostalgia. Corduroy lounges, walnut finishes, dim lighting, orange window decals and chocolate-coloured tiles are reminiscent of an establishment bo...

When we first visited this site for design, the gentle shallow slope under the road was covered with white snow, waiting for the barley seeding, which was supposed to be in the coming spring.

Rather than one big building, we placed small-scale buildings that blend within urban tissue. We conducted an architecture as a village.
