Site - Cheng Du, China
The cultural essence of Chengdu resonates with the indulgent energy found in Parisian life. These two cultures converge in their appreciation for a stylish and laid-back lifestyle, as well as a shared affection for enjoying afternoon tea, savoring exquisite cuisine, embracing art, exploring picturesque parks, and immersing themselves in a Passionate nightlife.
Chengdu flaunts plentiful natural resources that have nurtured a culture emphasizing relaxation, freedom, and indulgence—mirroring the essence of Parisian living. Through millennia of evolution and refinement, Chengdu has flourished into a sophisticated and dynamic center for arts, cuisine, and a lifestyle that captures the chic and vibrant spirit reminiscent of Paris.
Theater culture holds a significant position in both Chengdu and Parisian cultures. Whether it’s the Sichuan Opera, Tea Performances, and Shadow Puppet Plays in Chengdu, or the Cabaret, Ballet de l’Opéra, and Musicals in Paris, all bear testament to the romantic, artistic, and indulgent nature inherent in the people of these two vibrant cultures. This approach enables us not only to express the brand values of Sofitel but also to establish a platform that communicates the cultural spirit and history of both cities.

PROJECT YEAR | SPRING 2023
PROJECT TYPE | RESTAURANT
LOCATION | EAST VILLAGE, NY
The project aims to design a restaurant for DeAlie Tam, China’s first female chef earned Michelin star. The restaurant will be located in the East Village and inspired by the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a time for family and friends to gather around. The goal of the restaurant is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that brings people together, while also offering a modern take on Chinese cuisine that is affordable, accessible, and alive. The flow of the restaurant is centered around the osmanthus trees in the middle of the space, creating a circular path for customers to walk around. The design also includes a take-out window, which will extend the capacity of the space and allow more people to enjoy the food.

PROJECT YEAR | FALL 2022
PROJECT TYPE | RESIDENTIAL
LOCATION | BROOKLYN, NY
The project aims to design a four-story sharing townhouse for three groups of families in New York. The house is an oasis in the midst of the bustling city, with a carefully curated selection of materials and colors that create a cozy and intimate atmosphere. How would these families sharing the public space and still maintain privacy is the main question for exploring. The living room and kitchen will be the center of the home, connecting people while separating them from the bedrooms. A customized bookshelf will be designed in the living room for children to enjoy and read.
