Black Moon is a wristwatch with an astronomical moon display. The lunar indication uses fragments of two lunar meteorites set on a slightly domed central disc.

Snow Park is an exhibition center for a large indoor ski resort. The interior is arranged as six themed scenes: Ice Lake, Ice Tunnel, Ice Cave, Ice Light, Ice Cone and Ice House. Glass fiber reinforced gypsum shapes the flowing walls and ribbon-shaped light fixtures, while translucent ice jade stone lines the tunnel area. Holographic projections, screens and dynamic lighting guide visitors along an immersive route. Thirty-six structural columns are absorbed into the streamlined layout. The flexible plan also allows a later shift to commercial use.
