Ground floor design shapes how buildings meet streets and communities. These projects explore how architects activate, anchor, and reimagine the spaces where architecture touches everyday life.

The community examines ground-level interventions across scales: from street-facing restaurants and studios to urban fabric redesigns and mixed-use towers that prioritize pedestrian experience and local character.

Bamboo Tower

天人合一 (tiān rén hé yī) is a Chinese philosophical teaching of harmony between man & nature, often overlooked by many in this technology-saturated age. In response to this ever eroding quality of our built environment, we aspire to reintroduce the long lost affiliation of humankind’s innate biological connection with nature through bamboo and architecture.

Cyberio

Architecture in the cyber world is very surreal and unusual, we were inspired by all the dynamic futuristic architecture. The seamless curves, the domes and even the lighting colors. We wanted to create the ultimate video game world ambience, we added domed masses and played with curves to create a sense of liquidity and continuity.
