1751063690YNHO DWLA |
This project seeks to leverage inspiration from the iconic hollywood sign which looms directly over the site. Like the sign, the house looks to establish a base understructure, a rigid module from which a variety of arrangements can be supported. In this sense, the design of this house is not just a design for one time or one owner, but it is the design of a systems which can be
flexible, and can expand or contract to fit the needs to the times. |

1802277423ICONIC + INTEGRATIVE = INNOVATIVE |
Nowadays the functions of the work and living spaces are mixed – working at home but also “living” at work. Possible future is that the home functions will be realised in the public areas. The individual space will be reduced to the time when we want to be alone, future “shelters”. More such houses would be needed for the growing population on limited area. Buildings for the individuals could give the space back to the community (as public and green area). The site is the one of the few where the iconic sign is visible in the area of the individual houses. We create the best residential space accommodated with the priority of the public photo spot and define the residential space for the future.

1803641498OBSCURA |
Hollywood remains the epicenter of film. Film can be traced back to the Camera Obscura, a box with a small hole on one surface, which allows an image outside the box to be projected through the hole and onto a surface inside the box. The device is represented through the form and apertures of “Obscura”.
Exhibit spaces are along the lower slope of the hill; the living, entertaining spaces, and studio are housed in a cantilevered box; private spaces are embedded into the upper hillside of the site. A “red carpet” stair navigates the different levels of the home. |

1804151474Still Life Untitled |
Still Life Untitled looks to the artistic still life as a means of assembly, compositional friction and framework for programmatic, cultural and graphic projection. Still Life Untitled positions each element/figure in direct association with each other internally as a means to composite an external image as a means to convey its contextuality within the frame of the architectural site. The composition is split into four key compositional areas of 'still' — private (residence), semi-private(guest/rental home), public (front garden), and graphic garden which lay in waiting for 'life' to provoke and invoke them through incessant meandering and dwelling.

1835044184THE SUNKEN HOUSE |
The Sunken House sets itself out as an example of how modern domestic architecture can provide an integrative, flexible and simple living environment that responds respectively to the needs of future building design. The legacy of the Sunken House is rooted in the way it enhances the topography of the context. Partially sunken into the landscape, its sweeping roof profile
compliments the silhouette of the Hollywood hills and preserves the sightline up to the iconic Hollywood sign. The design is built around a simplification of living spaces, stepped over two principle levels that introduce a differentiation of lightness and visual connectivity. |

1838709838REINVENTING RENAISSANCE |
Concept for our futuristic house depends of both embracing nature and respecting past experiences. Just as the nature is ever-changing, so is our house. Everything that creates it is connected due to its specifically designed „wind wall”. One of the nature’s strongest forms is wind, so we transformed that unique way of movement and implanted it in our house. Then with earths combining with water and air, we reincarnated architectures most spiritual era – Renaissance. Each element has its own place in the home, but is intertwined so it becomes one – artificial second nature. By combining two different moments in history timeline, spiritual Renaissance and innovative future, we reinvented the way houses are perceived and lived in. With hope that future generation will find a way to live in harmony with both prosperity and nature.

1904215888Spontaneous Future |
What is the future of architecture? In my point of view, with the explosion of global population, how to make a better use of resources is a huge challenge. In other words, how to blend architecture with nature is the most significant topic.
In this project, we divide the essential programs into four boxes and precast them. Between the boxes, we use flexible material to connect them. Then we put liquid concrete into the connection part. When the concrete is solidified, the texture of the wall can express the complex materiality of the same constructive element. |

The challenge to build a house under the famous Hollywood sign is that how to balance the relationship of public and private. On one hand, with Hollywood sign, this house is unavoidable to be viewed by a large amount of tourists and has to be the landmark. On another hand, as a private house, we must make sure the client’s daily life will not be disturbed by the crowd. To solve such contradiction become the main drive of our design. First, the house is composed by a continuous spiral wall and we organize the space according to the privacy of space. Then, we extrude the spiral up to let the upper floor can enjoy beautiful scenery as well as protected from the view of public. Third, the spiral ramp not only acts as the circulation of the building, but also provides client a wonderful outdoor space. Finally, the sculpture like appearance makes this building an icon together with Hollywood sign.

2023465721Ambivalent House |
spheroid - a figure resembling a sphere; an object of approximately spherical shape;
ellipsoid of revolution; an object that is somewhat round but not perfectly round. Stranger things have happened on Mulholland Drive. Like the Chemosphere before it, this house pushes hard on the envelope of experimental residential design. A spheroid floating low to the ground on a single column, the form is the anexact offspring of more geometrically perfect round houses already achieved. It rotates, too, like Foster’s Roundhouse, but much more slowly, perhaps over the course of a year or more. In this way, the house’s many faces continually recombine visually to produce new profiles and elevations, an ever-changing, ambivalent object. The iconicity that is inevitable of an experimental house on this site is challenged, then, by its resistance to ever being viewed or read the same way twice. |

2086674332VILLA 0 |
The Villa O house is a new take on traditional residential architecture that responds to its magnificent site under the Hollywood sign. The house reacts to many important aspects within the given site. The views from the site were a significant factor during the design phase and made for the decision to shape the house into a perfect circle. The house was then broken into two pieces, the ground floor activity space and second floor living space. Both these elements were connected with an internal green space making the flow through the house seamless.
