Oasis

Oasis is a hotel built in Aswan, Egypt. I choose Aswan as the place for this hotel because Aswan is currently a developing city that is growing fast. I expect this hotel will be a point where businessman and executives come and stay for nights. Oasis is a place where they could get refresh and have a good rest to have a new day tomorrow, just like the characteristic of a desert oasis, which refresh traveller.



Lobby Floor Plan

Lobby Rest Area

Lobby Bar Area
 In Lobby Bar Area, I bring the concept of water flow to the ceiling to define the space and to give a design element to the space as well.

Reception Area
 The pattern carved on the back wall of the receptionist is to subtly includes the details of Egypt's culture.

Mezzanine Floor Plan

Fine Dining Restaurant
 Bubbles, one of water's character when there is an activity going on, is translated to this dim lights over the more private dining area in the restaurant. I did this to emphasize the feeling of elegance and romantic while they look out to the beautiful Aswan city.

Christian Louboutin Store

Christian Louboutin is a Retail Remodel Project. Located on Maiden Lane, San Francisco, the store Enhance the beauty of Maiden Lane along with other luxurious store. The res sign and architecture element brings back the resemblance of the Red Light District, which used to be Maiden Lane former name.

Floor Plan


The Concept of this project is butterfly's metamorphosis. Thinking of how women will feel the transformation after they wear Christian Louboutin shoes, I decided to make the store a place to transform their feeling.


Center Store View

The dynamic floor pattern is from the butterfly's wing pattern. The wing shape itself is translated in the store fixture. The subtle color is to keep them comfortable inside.




The translucent element at the entrance is the resemblance of a cocoon, a state of metamorphosis before a worm turn into a butterfly.
