Toyou Bookstore, designed by Wutopia Lab, considers books as mountains, poems as books, flowers as decorations, tea as fragrance, and wine as companion. The design therefore became simple and straight forward. When the reader enters the door, he or she will see a white mountain, which is a book-shelf made of white artificial stone. Toyou Bookstore embodies all the difficult training and thinking, and at the end it all shows an incredible ease, which is what Yu Ting understands as the essence of Chinese aesthetics.

1,300 Recycling Pavilion, designed by Hyunjejoo_Baukunst, intends to create an economical, flexible, light, and recyclable flexible element. The surface minimizes the separation between the inside and outside, light and silhouettes beyond the space show through. This surface maximizes the separation between the old and new surface, day and night beyond the space show through. The passage of time is more actively sensed from both inside and outside, as these light effects stimulate our senses.

Bavilion, designed by Studio Ardete, explores the possibility of reusing a bus so that it could once again be useful to the school. A pavilion was evolved, utilizing the outer structure of the bus and a triangular prismatic volume. The two volumes were intersected and juxtaposed, so as to make the space more interactive and useful all around, rather than making use of the inside alone. A play area, an open air theater, a gallery and above all a symbol that inculcates the importance of reuse and up-cycling in the students so their vision for tomorrow can be driven towards a sustainable future.

[FROD], designed by mome.estudio, is a refurbished home interior that redirects the light so that it invades the apartment and brings back its original character. To do so, the pre-existing materials – hidden behind successive layers of interventions – were recovered while trying to ensure that the house would fully reflect the personality of its inhabitants. The new ensemble creates a space with its character, where craftwork and materials whose charm and presence are intensified with time are highlighted.

Terramead Villa, designed by Srijit Srinivas – ARCHITECTS, is a re-design of a residence for more spacious and better-lit-up rooms. Structural changes involving replacement of walls to expand the floor area was a key challenge as the two storied house was built using burnt red bricks. Given the tropical climate, that the terracotta louvers cool the air it lets in, was an added advantage. It complements the cement finish exterior as well.

Lower Tullochgrue, designed by Brown & Brown Architects, is a home which could be used by numerous members of a large family, both collectively and in smaller family groups. This drove the creation of large social spaces, separate guest accommodation in the form of a small separate block, and refurbishment of the original house. Our approach was to take down the steading, reusing the materials from it, before creating a replacement stone plinth, atop which could sit the main body of the extension, allowing for consistent floor levels between the historic and contemporary elements.

Designed by Rob Henry Architects, Loft House is a home interior meticulously crafted from basic materials with thoughtful detailing.
