Spanning a total length of 1,310 metres, the project is an ecological footpath built on stilts encircling the mountain. The Cloud Walk meanders like a flowing ribbon along the slopes of Xianggang Mountain. Designed with a pure steel framework that gently touches the forest, it maximises the protection of native vegetation and animal habitats whilst subtly elevating the walker's perspective, imbuing the journey with poetry and height, and fully showcasing the harmonious coexistence of human life and natural tranquillity.

Abutting the coastal road, the farmhouse secures its privacy through a thick green cover and thoughtful orientation.

The client wanted a functional beach club—restaurant, kitchen, bar, event spaces—but not at the expense of what made the location worth developing in the first place. That's a tension most hospitality projects never resolve.

Occupying a freestanding, single-story industrial building of roughly 20,000 square feet, the project required a significant structural intervention to adapt the existing envelope to the precise dimensions of modern athletic courts. The design response directly embraces the raw scale of the original architecture, orchestrating a sharp, intentional contrast between an immersive, high-volume sports arena and a sequence of intimate, deeply saturated hospitality zones.

These illustrate the continuous battles between the amorphous forces of nature that are the rivers and seas, and human attempts to shape and control them. In most cases, they are attempts at extraction. Catastrophes happen as a result of the overreach of these attempts or of their mismanagement, or both.

At Valaya, architecture unfolds through this idea of protection. In a time when houses are often driven by image and visual statements, Valaya begins with a more fundamental question: How can a home in today's climate remain open without becoming vulnerable? Valaya responds to Ahmedabad's realities, intense heat, and shifting light by placing climate back at the centre of architectural thinking. This is a return to responsibility. The south-west side of the site receives the maximum weather impact, while the north-east offers softer daylight and favourable airflow. These realities became the starting point of the project. The clients wanted a home that could remain connected to the outside, and full of light, while still offering privacy and shelter. Rather than treating climate as a constraint, the design allows it to guide decisions.

It can be reached on foot uphill from the village, and by car downhill directly from the road, where there is also a garage. The architectural quality has been affected by various interventions in the past, such as the oversized exterior terrace with three pillars and also the plastering. On the inside, the original quality is hardly discernible on the two residential floors, in contrast to the cellar and the roof truss.
The garden was relatively far from the living spaces, which was certainly the reason for the inappropriate construction of the terrace.

As a creator and designer of atmospheres, he proposes speculative landscapes reflecting the possibilities of a world to come, whether ideal or truthfully unsettling. In his worldbuilding practice across the film, television, and video game industries, fiction becomes a tool for navigating the environmental urgencies of the present. He is considered a "futurist" working across design strategies, technological scenarios, and collective imaginations, grounded in his academic research yet reaching a wider audience in exhibitions such as "In Other Worlds" at the Barbican Centre in London and "Age of Nature" at the Danish Architecture Center in Copenhagen.

We see them as the elements that separate interior from exterior, regulate temperature, reduce noise, and protect buildings from external conditions. They give architecture its visual language, but they are also expected to keep the outside world at a distance. In doing so, façades have often been understood as barriers: surfaces that define where human comfort begins and where the environment is meant to remain outside.

When we think of façades, we rarely think of them as habitats. We see them as the elements that separate interior from exterior, regulate temperature, reduce noise, and protect buildings from external conditions. They give architecture its visual language, but they are also expected to keep the outside world at a distance. In doing so, façades have often been understood as barriers: surfaces that define where human comfort begins and where the environment is meant to remain outside.

But the outside of a building is never empty. For centuries, architecture has unintentionally created opportunities for other forms of life. Birds nested beneath roof tiles, insects occupied cracks in masonry walls, and mosses or plants took root along ledges, gutters, and rough stone surfaces. These conditions were rarely designed with other species in mind, but they created small opportunities for life to inhabit them.

Omrania's goal was to design an intermodal transit hub that appeals to non-transit users. This new iconic nexus links buses and the city's light rail system; it is home to a vegetable marketplace, and it embodies the culture of the city and creates real-estate value at the same time.

Built on a working sheep farm, as short-stay boutique accommodation, the cabins are the product of a long process of iterative design. Located some ten minutes outside the NSW regional centre of Orange, the project comprises two sharply profiled A-frame steel cabins that rest lightly on the undulating terrain in a form reminiscent of a tent. Their presence is both utilitarian and sculptural, shaped by economy, climate, and the desire for retreat. The cabins had to support reflection, allow engagement with the environment, and offer a degree of shelter that feels both grounded and elevated above everyday life.
