Notable works

=2008, [http://www.mesarchitecture.com/blog/?p=711 Sky is the limit]=
Tea house, Yang Yang (South Korea)
Purpose: Sky Is The Limit is a domestic space sample propulsed 20 meters above the ground, a tea room projected in a state of weightlessness over the troubled horizon. The building's body is nothing more than a fragile skeleton. Its thin arachnoid structure sets under tension a vertical void. A bicephalous head over this fleshless body is composed of two entities. Two captive voids of strictly similar dimensions provide two opposing experiences.
=2007 [http://www.mesarchitecture.com/blog/?p=609 H-Box]=
Mobile home video
Purpose: H-Box: Mobile home video, is a mobile space designed to display video art for Hermès International.
It is composed of modules of high-resistance lightweight materials, easily assembled, disassembled and transported, to travel around the world. Videos specially made for the touring project are updated every year.
=2003, [http://www.mesarchitecture.com/blog/?p=602 One Square Meter House]=
One person dwelling, Hygienapolis
Purpose: By reducing living space to its smallest unit, the square meter, this dwelling for one person promotes a critical view of land speculation. Beyond this, it subverts the notions of habitability, adaptability and evolutivity. A body-trap that takes contemporary narcissism to its most absurd, One Square Meter House makes public space the only possible terrain for social interaction.
