Carved into a dune along the coast of northern China’s Bohai Bay, the UCCA Dune Art Museum gently disappears beneath the sand. Simple, pure, and touching, the museum’s organic, cave-like concrete forms are a return to primal and timeless forms of space.
Le Petit Prince House is designed for two generations under one roof. Between each horizontal or vertical layer, you can peer through the “real” space to find cracks and crevices that create an illusion of deep valleys — offering a glimpse into “virtual” space.
As part of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale, Hong Kong House is an art gallery and an artist residence aims to facilitate cultural exchange between Hong Kong artists and local residents. The design team respectfully integrates Hong Kong House into this peaceful neighborhood by generating simple form and using locally-sourced materials.

There’s also featuring a coffee shop and a bookstore where friends and families of all ages can come to relax.
As a silent field, the museum not only provides blank space to artistic works, but also displays exhibits in a well-planned manner to allow viewers to concentrate.
Take the design at the entrance for example. Its curved circulation line borrows the form of Moon Lake, a famous local scenic spot. The slope is gradually lowered, creating a ceremonial sense for people, and leaving disturbing noises outside.
