The Mass Transit Lifestyle Revolution

Urban mass transit systems have exploded in recent decades as the world’s population has rapidly urbanized. There is a revolution in peoples mobility and lifestyles in urban heartlands where public transit is faster, cleaner and becoming seamlessly integrated with personal lifestyles. There was a surge in the opening of new transit systems in the 1970s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, but there was an even bigger surge in the past decade. From 2000 to 2009, 30 new systems opened; from 2010 to 2019, 45 new systems are predicted to open, 33 of those in the Asia-Pacific region alone.

High Five

Under the working title “HIGH FIVE” concept i have conceived a remarkable destination entertainment attraction, comprising the newest global trends in ride technology, active play and virtual gaming experiences.

Five iconic building Pods are conceived as a powerful visual landmark, playing with the cellular forms of a beehive, in an iconic and contemporary way. The 5 buildings create a series of completely flexible, large span interior spaces. The architecture optimizes natural air ventilation, minimizes solar gain, and embraces “green roof” design to ensure comfortable, cost-efficient operations. The entire roofscape is designed as “The Path”, a garden of health comprising fun exercise trails, skate parks, jogging and cycle routes and passive green rest areas.

Where Dreams Come True

Explorations and journeys through imaginary oceans and islands. From sea flower theatres to snow lotus mountains our designers capture the spirit of seascapes in the most abstract and contemporary way. With a true “Experiential Design” ethos, we are passionate to fuse stories, architecture, art, sensory experiences, water light and nature into new compositions of public space.

The Art of the Master Plan

The Master Plan, even at its earliest infancy, not only captures the spirit and dreams of the designer but also balances space, circulation, function, market positioning, operational and financial feasibility all on one simple piece of paper.

We still believe these drawings must be created by hand – the most direct way to bring abstract ideas to paper and on to reality. The art of the Master Plan and its creator is an amazing force sculpting the world around us.

An 18 Million Sq. M Master Plan Connecting People and Forests

This year we embarked on a fascinating journey into the sub-tropical forested hills of Hainan Island. Working under government policies to rehabilitate disused quarries, conserve and preserve species rich forest habitats, our architects and specialists put on their hiking boots and got to work.

Over 180,000 m 2 of forest, farming and quarry land are earmarked for sensitive eco-development, dedicated to “Living Life in Balance with Nature”. A program of 95 edutainment, physical and interpretive activities are set within 2 major Zones; “Adventure Canyon” and “World Valley” letting people learn, eat, play and be inspired by Hainan’s amazing forests.
