Wind Fence 2 is the extension of the existing Wind Fence project. To begin with the existing Wind Fence, it stands firmly at the edge between the land and the sea on the east coast of Busan. Making the building stand out when glancing at it from the waterfront was significant and the main purpose of this building was to attract various programs such as cafes, restaurants, and shops selling small crafts.
On the banks of the Sanya Haitang River, where tides ebb and flow, the climate is warm, and islands, coconut groves, and dense mangroves unfold in layers. Here, on the wetlands of Haitang Bay, we have woven an organic waterfront village. The Japanese philosopher Tetsurō Watsuji believed that “fudo (wind and earth) is a comprehensive term for climate, geology, soil, sightlines, and landscape.” Thus, we respond to the fudo with a continuous village and an undulating roof. The silver rooftop interpenetrates with the lush greenery, intertwining the calm of metal with the abundance of the tropics. The architecture maintains a humble empathy with nature, while the vast shadows it casts care for and shelter the people and life along the water’s edge.
Ramsden is a home for a young family assembled from fragments of memory. The design was heavily influenced by The Rings of Saturn by W. G. Sebald, a reflective travelogue with no conventional plot, yet densely layered with personal and international histories. The work reveals the complexity and disorder inherent in individual relationships to history, culture, and the past.

A bank is not a building: it is an agreement, an ecosystem of trust. The amoeba is born from this idea: roofs that float, made of thousands of bricks that, together, raise something much greater. An open architecture, without hierarchies, honest and accessible from all sides. A living surface that breathes with the climate, transforms the technical into poetic, and embraces instead of imposing. The amoeba is not just an aesthetic gesture. It is a statement of principles. A manifesto in brick.

West Canal Yards was formerly a vital hub in Seattle’s fishing industry, comprised of two buildings: a long-running fish processing facility including a 30,000-square-foot freezer. These hard-working structures now form the foundation of this adaptive reuse project along Seattle’s Ship Canal.
