Jewelry Store
This jewelry boutique, a composite store gathering various jewelry brands, offers a space where the allure of gems and accessories shines. Inspired by the concept of an accumulation of gems, the spatial design is crafted with a series of white rods, arranged along mathematical curves to form a structured, three-dimensional ceiling pattern. These rods create geometric shapes that change depending on the viewing angle, echoing the intricate play of light seen in the gems themselves.

Museum
Deji Cultural Complex provides a fusion of cultural arts and commercial facilities. It has six extensive facilities including an art museum, a museum, a bookstore, shops, and a café on its top 7300 m2 floor. The coexistence of these facilities allows customers to stop by at one they would not have otherwise visited. What makes The Triangle. JP's design innovation is that they entirely got rid of walls between spaces. By eliminating partitions, it freed the space from having boundaries between inside and outside giving customers a little "preview" before entering the space.
