Beach Cabin on the Baltic Sea

This small diner on a Baltic Sea beach near Gdansk with its simple form fits naturally into the beach environment. The building offers two areas: an opaque part with windows and a fully glazed winter garden. The transparent glass house not only offers an unrestricted view of the sea and the beach but also uses solar energy in a passive way to improve indoor comfort in a relatively cool climate in northern Poland. The Solarlux system construction of the winter garden with its slim wood-aluminum profiles enables a filigree effect.

Superstrata

Superstrata is the world's first customized unibody bicycle frame 3D-printed from carbon fiber composite. The Superstrata bike frame touts a unibody construction that is free of joints and bolts, which improves not only the strength but also adds aesthetic to the bike. Each frame can also be custom 3D printed based on the owner's body measurements and riding preferences, meaning it is unique to each rider. The design is further accentuated by the unconventional absence of a seat tube, placing Superstrata in a place of its own.

Skyboat

The structure cantilevers 36m over the 613m deep sinkhole. The top of the sinkhole is extremely narrow which can only accommodate a small passageway. Skyboat is proposed to span over the passageway and cantilever out to each side of the mountain ridge. Similar to the tumbler toys, it is proposed to lower the structure centre of gravity and utilize the minimum area (10metres by 30metres), in which way, the self-balance of the structure is therefore achieved.

Entry Building to Sberbank

With the newly constructed building that encloses the exterior space between two existing high-rise towers the architects have created a representative entrance to the office towers that are part of Sberbank City, the new campus of the Russian bank. The hyperbolic paraboloid form delivers immense, daylight-flooded interiors, while minimizing sunlight obstruction to the offices in the towers. Both entrances are crowned in a series of triangulated panels, creating a strong design statement.
