Project description



In this project, we applied the principle of parametric architecture again; however, this time the design was more complex and elaborated: there is no space between panels (the viewers won’t care about dust), that’s why the wall looks like a complex monolithic element with intricate curves, some features serve as shelves, and some of them are decorative only. This makes the room look ultramodern, the composition being somewhat compensated by making the bed corner in a light art deco style: a leather quilted bed with a ceiling-high head, soft and warm lighting – all this makes the room cozy and allows admiring the architectonic design ‘from the outside’. Because the architectonic wall is in focus, we decided to use a restrained combination of graphite grey and white.


The soft cloth of the curtains and bedcover supports the balance of materials.


At entrance, you will see a mirror cube on the right; this is a constrained decoy – on the client’s request a part of the room was allocated for a spacious full-scale walk-in closet. For this voluminous element not to conceal space, it was decorated with mirrors, which allows to visually retain the room dimensions, add light from the reflected window, and is pragmatic: a mirror is a must-be in a room with a walk-in closet.


As for the ceilings, we decided not to do anything about them. That’s why the luminaires are surface-mounted and rotatable. On the one hand, they will lay emphasis on the complex geometry of the wall, on the other hand – they will provide perfect illumination of the room and working area when necessary”.

Weaving a Home : A Concept Tent for Refugees

Weaving a Home is a unique structural fabric that functions as tent shelters. This project is based on history where human has developed in alternating waves of migration and settlement. People move from one point to another, across the earth led by the discovery of new territories or by the creation of new communities to form towns, cities, and nations. It is both exploration and settlement, changes between movement and stillness, these are fundamental essence of what it means to be human.


Due to global wars and natural disasters, we have seen the displacement of millions of people across continents. They are refugees who seek shelter from disaster in their countries, settle in unknown lands in the middle of nowhere, starting with nothing but tent to call home. This project “Weaving a Home” brings back the traditional architectural concept of tent shelters, it creates a technical, structural fabric that expands to enclose users and contracts for mobility, it provides safety and comforts of contemporary life, such as running water, heat, electricity, storage, and many more.

This concept tent has been design to bridge the gap between people’s need and desire to have a home. This lightweight structural fabric has great potential in answering people’s desire to have their lives back together, physically weaving their built environment into a familiar place. Inside the tend, refugees can enjoy a moment of peace, a pause from their turbulent worlds, weaving this shelter into home.
