RESIDENTIALLAKE CONSTANCE, SWITZERLAND
Status
Located on the shores of Lake Constance, on the Swiss side, this home was created for a young race car
driver and his wife. The home was design with the idea of living on the infinite plane between a virtual
and actual lake. This was accomplished by the using of travertine flooring inside and out, and a large
mirrored wall on the opposite side of the lake that relflects the image of the house and lake beyond it.
The open floor plan and slim mullioned sliding glass doors create the perfect atmosphere for outdoor
living and social gathers.

StatusKAMEHA GRAND HOTEL
Zürich, Switzerland
Located between the Airport and the heart of Zürich in the rapidly growing community of Opfikon, this
will be the second Grand Hotel in the Kameha line-up. At over 250 rooms, this Grand Hotel features
an event space for 1000, two top-tier resturants, including a sushi bar, and open kitchen designs and a
mini-forest situated above the underground parking, located in a sub-basement level.
The architecture displays a unique and highly energy efficient double-facade. The facade embraces the
streetscape with a gently curving pattern made posissible by custom horizontal mullion. The facade is
like an elegant dress flowing down the red carpet.

HOSPITALITYZÜRICH, SWITZERLAND
Technically, the architecture of the hotel is
executed in a very precise fashion. All areas of
the building are carefully detailed to the most
stringent of Swiss building codes and Minergie
standards. The facade utilizes two layers of
glass, interstitial sunshading and interior cur-
tains and blinds to allow the building to be finely
tuned to any daylighting and/or passive heating
& cooling situations.

tecDESIGN - Los Angeles
One of the most important features of the hotel is its conference and event center. These elements
were carefully considered for appropriate adjacencies and ease of use. At 1,250 m2, the conference
and event spaces were also designed for maximum flexibility. The main bannquet rooms can be com-
bined into a larger conference space. There are rooms for small groups and large. The main event
space is located on the second floor and has vehicle access via a specialized exterior elevator. The
event space also has a separate entry area for bus-drop off.
The conference area also has direct access to the exterior garden area, where full grown trees will be
planted in an intensive green roof setup.

Status
When famous car designer Sergio Scaglietti was designing his legendary racing cars in the 1950s and
60s, he coined a phrase that also applies to architecture – an approach that we have adopted as our
basic philosophy at our design studio in Los Angeles: It’s not only about form and function, but also the
passion that it creates. Cloud No 7 is a project whose design was developed with passion, whose shape
was drawn with the heart and soul of our designers and architects, with functionality meeting the highest
standards – representing the state of the art in technology in building services and sustainability.

Utilizing the predominantly western winds, the eighteen-story KingKa Hotel integrates large wind
turbines that will present an iconic image seen throughout the city, emphasizing the commitment to the
project. Effectively, this single wind turbine will supplement the existing power source, providing emis-

Situated on a prime spot along the Palma de Mallorca bay, this project is more a reinvention than a
renovation. Formerly a non-descript 1960s concrete building with little in the way of memorable traits,
the new structure will be clad in textile sculptures which resemble futuristic seaweed emerging from the
sea below to cover the lower portion of the building. The upper part of the building is clad with more
textiles, softening the previously monolithic structure by providing shade, texture and depth. A dramatic
rooftop infinity pool cascades down the tower, collection on second story platform.

“THERE IS NO ICONOGRAPHIC NOTIONFOR THE ‘GESTALT’ OF HI-TECH PRO-DUCTION AND ENGINEERING FACILITIES”
In the case of the Inotera Headquarters in Taipei this is achieved by infusing hi-tech requirements
with emotional content. The all glass façade, typical for standard office buildings, is reinterpreted
in light of Taiwan’s tradition of tile construction. Technology is thus explored in order to emulate
cultural values and environmental aspects within a contemporary context. As there is no iconographic
notion for the ‘Gestalt’ of hi-tech production and engineering facilities, the office building allows for
its own expression; hundreds of shapes and colors portrait the formal complexity of natural elements
such as the leaves of trees or ripples of water. An intricate assemblage of printed glass utilizing the
latest glass printing technologies, structural glass and glass curtain wall systems, articulates a
building that seeks to define its unique identity while assimilating local customs. In contrast to the
transparent office structure, an attached fabrication facility provides a fantastic screen for a dadaesque
ceramic tile composition that dilutes its scale by use of perspective geometries.
IT IS NOT MERELY ABOUTTHE FUNCTION OF A FORM, BUT THE DESIRE IT CREATES.
Inotera Headquarters in Taipei combined with
a fabrication facility aims at creating a sense of
identification, persona, and location for a new
joint venture between a European and an Asian
company. The structure’s working title “the
culture lab” emphasizes its role in making the
most of cultural differences while evoking the
ambience of a social laboratory.
Such use of new technology exemplifies its
potential in improving our lives economically as
well as aesthetically. This is key to a complex
architectural approach that not only applies
technological innovation but also internalizes it.
位于台北的华亚科技总部大楼和加工设施是欧洲
和亚洲企业的一项合资计划,设计务求为项目打
造鲜明的识别、形象和地表性。建筑暂定名为“
文化实验室”,将突出不同文化之优点,唤起社
会互动实验室的气氛。
新科技的使用除了可改善我们的经济得益,也可
提升环境美感。这一点对于不仅是引用科技技
术,而且更将科技技术融入于复杂的建筑设计来

within the country. The façade utilizes the
latest technologies in CAD and CIM to provide a
colorful , if not romantic image motivated by the
colors of trees and skies.
The extremely tight schedule in connection with
the economically crucial ramp up process of

TEC DESIGNFEATURED PROJECTSASIA PACIFIC, SINGAPORE
In its composition, two organic shaped office towers emerge from a common
public podium. A tensile roof structure transforms the space between
the office towers into a grand, open atrium. This naturally ventilated zone
acts as a climatic buffer, forming a transition between inside and outside.
The building is wrapped with a system of fabric fins that not only shade
the surface but also soften the contour of the building. This combination
of form and texture creates a dynamic and almost mysterious appearance
that stimulates an atmosphere of inspiration and lets the user partake in
the creation of the company’s identity.
The Singapore headquarters manifest Infineon’s venture into the Asia Pacific
market, with the intention to symbolize the new Spirit that characterizes
its establishment as a knowledge driven company. The project’s priority,
creating an environment that stimulates and nurtures the thriving of ideas,
sets the framework for pursuing unconventional architectural expressions.
Taking into consideration the particular work ethic, social tendencies and
cultural preferences, the building reflects its specific context by use of
characteristic materials, structural interpretations of local architecture and
specific ecologic considerations.
Innovative design ideas are combined with low-energy solutions to meet
the complex demands given by developing a sustainable headquarter building
for the hi-tech company Infineon.
两栋形状自然的办公塔楼建于同一个公共裙房,而受拉的屋顶设计将两栋办公
塔楼之间的空间形成豪华,开阔的中庭。该区采用自然通风,亦作分隔室内和
室外空间的气候缓冲区;另外,建筑的布面翼板系统除了提供遮阳,也使建筑
轮廓线显得更加柔和。建筑外形和质感为建筑增添动感,并略带神秘,营造激
发创意灵感的工作环境,同时也让使用者共同创造企业识别。

sets the framework for pursuing unconventional architectural expressions.
Taking into consideration the particular work ethic, social tendencies and
cultural preferences, the building reflects its specific context by use of
characteristic materials, structural interpretations of local architecture and
specific ecologic considerations.
Innovative design ideas are combined with low-energy solutions to meet
the complex demands given by developing a sustainable headquarter building
for the hi-tech company Infineon.
两栋形状自然的办公塔楼建于同一个公共裙房,而受拉的屋顶设计将两栋办公
塔楼之间的空间形成豪华,开阔的中庭。该区采用自然通风,亦作分隔室内和
室外空间的气候缓冲区;另外,建筑的布面翼板系统除了提供遮阳,也使建筑
轮廓线显得更加柔和。建筑外形和质感为建筑增添动感,并略带神秘,营造激
发创意灵感的工作环境,同时也让使用者共同创造企业识别。
位于新加坡的总部大楼说明了英飞凌开拓亚太区市场的意向,其革新的企业精
神体现出英飞凌是一家知识驱动型企业。项目的首要工作是塑造可启发和培育
新构思的工作环境,并且定下一个独特的建筑架构。设计考虑到企业的工作守
则、社会趋势和文化偏好等因素,因此采用了特色用料,并且探讨当地建筑特
色和生态环境,成功地让建筑展示其独特的环境条件。
崭新的设计构思和低能源设计方案成功满足英飞凌严格的要求,为企业打造可
持续发展的总部大楼。

“ THE ART OF ARRANGING GRIDS OF CONDUCTING MATERIAL IN MULTIPLE LAYERS”
DEVELOPMENT CENTER研发中心Duisburg, Germany / 德国杜伊斯堡 This building is a specialized studio building for designers of micro technology components. We call it the
monastery of the nanometer. The microcosm of people who think in nanometers is being expressed by a Zen-like
water garden surrounded by an organically shaped courtyard building. The highly specialized product is elusive
and small. The art of arranging grids of conducting material in multiple layers, possibly even storing an entire
encyclopedia on the area of a thumbnail, represents the key technology of the information age.

Status
For companies today, the most important production factor is the knowledge possessed by its employees.
This is what distinguishes the demands of modern working environments from the structures handed
down from the industrial age. Today buildings and architectural structures are to provide employees
with scope for innovation and creativity. With up to 7000 workstations, diverse office environments, a
retail business, sports grounds, a civic park and spaces for the informal exchange of ideas, features of
municipal structures are transferred to corporate headquarters. The division of the open spaces into, for
example, park, campus, gardens, courtyards and terraces elucidates the concept of the campus town.
