Floating House

The Floating House is a three-level home located in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. The building measures about 400 square meters and is placed on a sloping hillside site. Passive design strategies guide the project, including site-specific positioning and the use of natural resources. Industrial and prefabricated building techniques are combined with locally harvested and regenerative materials. Large roof overhangs protect the spaces below from rain and solar radiation. Solar energy is collected on the roof. Terraced gardens and balconies face the surrounding landscape.

Out Of Sight

Out Of Sight is a social building project designed for Friars Island in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The project uses forty two twenty foot shipping containers treated with thermal insulation, forming a built area of 620 square metres. The containers house a dance school that previously operated beside the neighbouring church and three emergency social homes for local residents. A steel structural system was chosen to keep the construction light, safe and quick to build. The design follows the existing topography and supports access to culture and decent housing.

Motor 1

In many appliances and tools production processes, each product requires a motor, but the time of using the product is short, resulting in a waste of resources. The motor is used as the core of a series of home appliances and power tools. The design of the motor can be quickly installed in different modules to reduce the number of motors needed for home appliances. It allows users to obtain different modules and install the motor core in various home appliance modules when required. It effectively solves the problem of overproduction to avoid waste.

Eco Ocean

Eco Ocean is an eyewear collection of optical and sun frames made from recycled ocean plastic. The material comes from old ropes, nets and trawls collected from the sea by an ocean clean-up organization. The waste is cleaned, cut and processed into pellets, which are injection molded into lightweight and flexible frames. The frames have a matte, scratch-resistant finish in ocean-inspired shades, and a wave-shaped hinge refers to the origin of the material. Each frame is supplied in a case made from recycled PET fabric.

Box Factory

This Zero Energy, low carbon project has operational data that confirms its actual performance. It is an all electric building that relies on onsite solar to meet its energy needs, with heat pumps providing heating and cooling. Careful siting and form work as hard as the systems, with the building oriented to local wind patterns and sun angles. Box Factory integrates climate resilience, innovation, and community impact through thoughtful design. During the 2022 Electra Fire, which burned 4,500 acres in Amador County, the project proved itself resilient and climate ready.
